F.3 Comprehensive multiplatform analysis of CDKN2A alterations in meningiomas
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: In meningiomas, CDKN2A/B deletions are associated with poor outcomes but are rare in most cohorts (1-5%). Large molecular datasets are therefore required to explore these deletions and their relationship to other prognostic CDKN2A alterations. Methods: We utilized multidimensional molecular data of 560 meningiomas from 5 independent cohorts to comprehensively interrogate the spectrum of CDKN2A alterations through DNA methylation, copy number variation, transcriptomics, and proteomics using an integrated molecular approach. Results: Meningiomas with either CDKN2A/B deletions (partial or homozygous loss) or an intact CDKN2A gene locus but elevated mRNA expression (CDKN2Ahigh) both had poor clinical outcomes. Increased CDKN2A mRNA expression was a poor prognostic factor independent of CDKN2A deletion. CDKN2A expression and p16 protein increased with tumor grade and more aggressive molecular and methylation groups. CDKN2Ahigh meningiomas and meningiomas with CDKN2A deletions were enriched for similar cell cycling pathways dysregulated at different checkpoints. p16 immunohistochemistry was unreliable in differentiating between meningiomas with and without CDKN2A deletions, but increased positivity was associated with increased mRNA expression. CDKN2Ahigh meningiomas were associated with gene hypermethylation, Rb-deficiency, and lack of response to CDK inhibition. Conclusions: These findings support the role of CDKN2A mRNA expression as a biomarker of clinically aggressive meningiomas with potential therapeutic implications.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
