Importantly, FGFR2 and FGFR3 were detected in meningiomas (Johnson et al., 2010; Smith et al., 2005; Ueba et al., 1994), and FGF1 was shown to be able to stimulate meningioma cell proliferation by activation of AKT1 and STAT3 (Johnson et al., 2010). This evidence concerns the gene FGFR2 and meningioma.
