Abstract excerpt
Background: Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial tumors in adults. Identification of SMO and AKT1 mutations in meningiomas has raised the hope for targeted therapies. It would be useful to know the precise frequency of these mutations in anatomical subgroups and clarify their prognostic value. Methods: We used the Sanger sequencing technique to characterize 79 samples of olfactory groove...
