  1. CA were identified using CytoHD in samples from 144 meningioma tumors and sequencing variants were identified in blood/tumor pairs from 76 meningioma cases using a targeted sequencing panel that included 11 genes previously associated with meningioma and nine meningioma genes discovered herein. Replication variants may have been either somatic or germline. Variant was found in one of four sporadic cases with recurrent or multiple meningiomas. CA chromosomal abnormalities, WES whole exome sequencing.
