Table 2. Mutations associated with intradural extramedullary (IDEM) tumors.

Tumor Gene Locus Grade Molecular finding
Meningioma 22 I–III Most consistently reported finding of spinal meningioma
MMP9 20q11.2 I–III Overexpressed in spinal meningiomas via IHC
SMARCE1 17q21.2 I–III Familial spinal meningiomas in patients without NF2; all clear-cell histology
Schwannoma NF2 22q12 Germline inactivating mutations
SMARCB1 22q11 Germline alteration in ~50% of familial and ~10% of sporadic schwannomatosis cases
LZTR1 22q11 Germline LoF in majority of schwannomatosis cases lacking mutations in SMARCB1, but with loss of chromosome 22q in tumors
ARID1A 1p36.11 Recurrent somatic mutations in sporadic schwannomas, identified by WES
ARID1B 6q25.3
DDR1 6p21.33
SH3PXD2A-HTRA1 Recurrent fusion in 10% of sporadic schwannoma

IHC, immunohistochemistry; LoF, loss-of-function; WES, whole-exome sequencing.
