Abstract excerpt
To investigate chromosomal events that underlie formation and progression of meningiomas, we have examined a set of 18 benign (WHO grade I), 15 atypical (grade II), and 13 anaplastic/malignant (grade III) meningiomas for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosomes 1p, 6p, 9q, 10q, and 14q. Frequent loss of loci on these chromosomes was seen in grade II and grade III tumors, specifically, 14q (II and III, 47 and...
