Abstract
The occurrence of I TRAF7 i mutations in the normal meninges also questions its intrinsic pathogenic value, since meningiomas frequently harbor a second co-mutation ( I KLF4 i SP I K409Q i sp or one of the main oncogenes of the PI3K pathway, I AKT1 i and I PIK3CA i ) [[1], [5]]. Meningioma oncogenesis is dominated by the occurrence of well-known driver gene mutations that form co-exclusive mutational groups, but 20% of meningiomas do not harbor any somatic mutation [[4]-[6]]. Variants are reported ordered by gene mutation frequency, and colored depending on the consequence of the mutation. d Summary of the four mutations present in the normal meninges in main driver genes for meningioma (NF2 and TRAF7).
