Murat Günel and colleagues identify recurrent mutations in POLR2A, which encodes the catalytic subunit of RNA polymerase II, in a subset of meningiomas. They find that POLR2A-mutant tumors can be distinguished on the basis of their super-enhancer and gene expression profiles, which show dysregulation of key meningeal identity genes.
