Abstract excerpt
We analyzed the genetic aberrations on chromosome arms 1p, 10q, and 14q, which are thought to be loci that include putative tumor suppressor genes in meningiomas. We initially conducted molecular genetic testing on a total of 72 tumors including 15 atypical and 8 anaplastic meningiomas using double-target fluorescence in situ hybridization. An incidence of deletion of 1p was observed in 16.3% of histologically...
