Cytogenetic analysis of meningiomas.

چکیده
Cytogenetic analysis of 4 cases of meningiomas from 3 male and 1 female patients is reported. One of male patients suffered from neurofibromatosis type 2. Histologically, the meningiomas were meningotheliomatous (1), transitional (2), and psammomatous (1). Chromosomal abnormalities were found in all cases with a karyotype 45,XY,-22, 45,XY,-16, 45,XX,-2, and 45,XY,t (15p;22q), respectively. Monosomy of chromosome 22 was detected only in the patient with neurofibromatosis type 2. These cytogenetic analysis demonstrates that variable clonal karyotype aberrations exist in meningiomas.

Clonal cytogenetic progression within intratumorally heterogeneous meningiomas predicts tumor recurrence.
Meningiomas arise from the coverings of the brain or the spinal cord. They are mostly benign and can be surgically cured. However, in approximately 5% of the cases, they turn into malignant forms with aggressive clinical behavior and increased risk of tumor recurrence. Cytogenetically meningiomas are well characterized, with normal karyotype or monosomy of chromosome 22 in most tumors and clini...
متن کاملInherited multiple meningiomas: a clinical, pathological and cytogenetic study of an affected family.
The clinical features of a family with inherited multiple meningiomas as the major manifestation of neurofibromatosis are presented. The value of noninvasive radiological screening investigations is emphasised. The results of cytogenetic and pathological studies on the family are presented and discussed with a review of the relevant literature.
متن کاملAssociation between Inflammatory Infiltrates and Isolated Monosomy 22/del(22q) in Meningiomas
Meningiomas contain highly variable levels of infiltrating tissue macrophages (TiMa) and other immune cells. In this study we investigated the potential association between the number and immunophenotype of inflammatory and other immune cells infiltrating the tumor as evaluated by multiparameter flow cytometry, and the clinico-biological, cytogenetic and gene expression profile (GEP) of 75 meni...
متن کاملThe cytogenetic relationship between primary and recurrent meningiomas points to the need for new treatment strategies in cases at high risk of relapse.
PURPOSE Recurrence is the major factor influencing the clinical outcome of meningioma patients although the exact relationship between primary and recurrent tumors still needs to be clarified. The aim of the present study is to analyze the cytogenetic relationship between primary and subsequent recurrent meningiomas developed within the same individual. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Multicolor interpha...
متن کاملDeletion of chromosome 1p and loss of expression of alkaline phosphatase indicate progression of meningiomas.
Meningiomas are cytogenetically characterized by loss of one chromosome 22 as a typical primary aberration and progression-associated secondary chromosome changes, of which monosomy 1p is the most common. The aim of this study was to evaluate the significance of monosomy 1p and enzyme activity loss of tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (ALPL), whose gene maps to chromosome 1p36.1-p34, as p...
