Abstract excerpt
To better understand the molecular mechanisms responsible for meningioma tumorigenesis we previously utilized subtractive hybridization protocols to identify genes the expression or structure of which is altered in these common brain tumors. Here we show that a CA dinucleotide repeat element pres...
