Mutations activating the hedgehog (Hh) signalling pathway have been described in anterior skull base meningiomas, raising hope for the use of targeted therapies. However, identification of Hh‐activated tumours is hampered by the lack of a reliable immunohistochemical marker. We report the evaluation of GAB1, an immunohistochemical marker used to detect Hh pathway activation in medulloblastoma, as a potential marker of Hh‐activated meningiomas.
