Abstract excerpt
In meningiomas, prognostic impact of mutations in the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) promoter region was recently shown, while studies of promoter methylation and analyses of hemangiopericytomas are lacking. hTERT promoter methylation was analyzed in 78 meningioma and 38 meningeal hemangiopericytoma samples by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MS-PCR) and compared with...
