Finally, the telomeric deletion D10S169- qter overlaps with the large q telomeric deletion described for endometrial cancer.

DISCUSSION In this study we examined the LOH of 11 dinucleotide repeat loci on chromosome 10 in 208 meningiomas of all grades. We investigated the incidence and complexity of LOH relative to tumor progression. For all alleles examined, the incidence of LOH was much higher in all grades than that reported previ- ously, with incidence and complexity of LOH increasing with tumor grade. Mapping of the regions of LOH of all of the tumors defined four regions of chromosomal deletion. These deletions coincide with those found in other cancers, supporting the hypothesis that candidate tumor suppressor genes in these re- gions contribute to meningeal tumorigenesis and progression. To expand on previous studies, we examined LOH of alleles used in previous meningioma reports (11–15), as well as additional loci mapping near known and candidate tumor sup- pressor genes on 10q. The present data are in good agreement Fig. 1 Examples of CEQ 2000 XL allelic profiles.

previously been shown to have LOH in meningiomas and in- creased odds of detecting LOH by examining a larger number of loci. We do not believe the increase in observed LOH was due to less stringent data calculations because LOH was assigned using a conservative lower limit of 40% loss. This is more stringent than previous reports, where 30% loss was considered indicative of LOH (11), and loss between 30% and 40% was considered suggestive of LOH (22). Furthermore, although the loss ratios for individual loci ranged from 40% to 100% in this study, 77% of the loci had a loss ratio greater than 50%, with almost a quarter of the loci (23.2%) having 100% loss of an allele (data not shown), even under PCR conditions set up to detect small amounts of a given allele. Therefore, the majority of tumors had LOH with a loss ratio much higher than our designated cutoff. In an attempt to characterize regions where the putative tumor suppressor genes inferred by the LOH analyses reside, we mapped and compared the LOH patterns for each meningioma to define the smallest regions of deletion occurring in this tumor population. Mapping resulted in the identification of one region of chromosomal deletion on 10p (pter-D10S89[p12.1]) and three on 10q (D10S109[q22.3]-D10S215[q24.1], D10S187[q25.3]- D10S209[qq26.11], and D10S169[q26.3]-qter). It is interesting to note that there were three major patterns of LOH for the benign tumors. Because the majority of atypical tumors and all of the malignant tumors had loss on both arms, it is tempting to speculate that benign tumors with loss only on the q arm may be less aggressive than those having LOH patterns more similar to the higher-grade tumors with loss on both arms, and this study is under way. An examination of the patterns also indicated diverse pat- terns of loss for the benign meningiomas, with a given pattern often occurring for a single meningioma. The diversity of pat- terns might result from instability at fragile sites (31). On chromosome 10, 7 fragile sites (FRA10A-Fra10G) have been localized to the q arm. Of these, FRA10D is in the neighborhood of D10S580 and D10S109, whereas FRA10E and FRA10B are near D10S187, and FRA10F is near D10S209. Further investi- gation will determine whether these fragile sites impact LOH at the loci examined in this study. In addition, many tumors showed retention for either D10S109 or D10S580. It is possible that the apparent retention between these two markers really represents homozygous deletions. This would result in a slightly larger region of deletion from D10S580 to D10S215. Of the three deletions on the q arm, one (D10S187- D10S209) overlaps with the location of DMBT1 (deleted in malignant brain tumors 1 [10q26.11–26.12]). Although consid- ered a candidate tumor suppressor gene due to its frequent intragenic homozygous deletions and lack of expression in other cancers including glioblastomas (32), its role as a tumor sup-
