Descrição: Background This study sought to identify genes in nontypical meningiomas with gains in copy number (CN) that correlate with earlier age of onset, an indicator of aggressiveness. Methods Among 94 adult patients, 91 had 105 meningiomas that were histologically confirmed. World Health Organization grades I (typical), II (atypical), and III (anaplastic) were assigned to tumors in 76, 14, and 1 patient, respectively. Brain invasion indicated that two World Health Organization grade I meningiomas were biologically atypical. DNA from 15 invasive/atypical/anaplastic meningiomas and commercial normal DNA were analyzed with multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification. The CN ratios (fold differences from normal) for 78 genes were determined. The CN ratio was defined as [tumor CN]/[normal CN] for each gene to normalize results. Results Characteristic gene losses (CN ratio < 0.75) occurred in >50% of the invasive/atypical/anaplastic meningiomas at 22q11, 1p34.2, and 1p22.1 loci. Gains (CN ratio ≥ 2.0) occurred in each tumor for 2 or more of 19 genes. Each of the 19 genes' CN ratio was ≥2.0 in multiple tumors, and their collective sums (up to 49.1) correlated inversely with age ( r = −0.72), minus an outlier. In patients ≤55 versus >55 years, 5 genes ( BIRC2 , BRAF , MET , NRAS , and PIK3CA ) individually exhibited significantly higher CN ratios ( P < 0.05) or a trend for them ( P < 0.09), with corrections for multiple comparisons, and their sums correlated inversely with age ( r = − 0.74). Conclusions Low levels of amplification for selected oncogenes in invasive/atypical/anaplastic meningiomas were higher in younger adults, with the CN gains potentially underlying biological aggressiveness associated with early tumor development.
