Meningiomas are the most frequent primary intracranial tumors. The considerable variety of histological subtypes has been expanded by the definition of molecular alterations, which can improve both diagnostic accuracy and determination of individual patient's outcome. According to the upcoming WHO classification of brain tumors, the in-time analysis of frequent molecular events in meningiomas may become mandatory to define meningioma subtypes. We have compiled a custom-made amplicon-based next generation sequencing (NGS) meningioma panel covering the most frequent known recurrent mutations in 15 different genes. In an unselected consecutive meningioma cohort (109 patients) analyzed over a period of 12 months, we detected mutations in 11 different genes, with most frequent alterations in NF2 (43%), AKT1 |
