Malignant transformation-related genes in meningiomas: allelic loss on 1p36 and methylation status of p73 and RASSF1A
1 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
OBJECT: Analysis of meningiomas supports the suggestion that loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of chromosome arm 1p plays an important role in malignancy. The aim of this study was to identify genes related to meningioma progression from the benign state to the atypical and anaplastic states by examining 1p LOH and the promoter methylation of RASSF1A and p73. METHODS: The authors studied 40 surgical specimens (22 WHO...
