Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported that losses of genomic material from the long arm of chromosome 18 are frequent in atypical and anaplastic meningiomas but rare in benign meningiomas. In the present study, we have investigated a series of 37 meningiomas for mutation and expression of 4 tumor suppressor genes (MADH2, MADH4, APM-1 and DCC) located at 18q21. Comparative genomic hybridization or loss of heterozygosity...
