Abstract

Current staging methods are inadequate for predicting the overall survival of meningioma. DNA microarray technologies improve the understanding of tumour progression. We analysed genome wide expression profiles of 119 meningioma samples from two previous published DNA microarray studies. The Cox proportional hazards regression models were applied to identify overall survival related gene signature. A total of 449 genes (109 upregulated and 340 downregulated) were identified as differentially expressed in meningioma. Among these differentially expressed genes, 37 genes were identified to be related to meningioma overall survival. Our 37-gene signature is closely associated with overall survival among patients with meningioma. This gene expression profile could provide an optimization of the clinical management and development of new therapeutic strategies for meningioma.
