Medulloblastoma comprises four distinct molecular variants.
PURPOSE Recent genomic approaches have suggested the existence of multiple distinct subtypes of medulloblastoma. We studied a large cohort of medulloblastomas to determine how many subgroups of the disease exist, how they differ, and the extent of overlap between subgroups. METHODS We determined gene expression profiles and DNA copy number aberrations for 103 primary medulloblastomas. Bioinfo...
متن کاملMolecular variants and mutations in medulloblastoma
Medulloblastoma is the commonest malignant brain tumor in children. Treatment with surgery, irradiation, and chemotherapy has improved outcomes in recent years, but patients are frequently left with devastating neurocognitive and other sequelae following such therapy. While the prognosis has traditionally been based on conventional histopathology and clinical staging (based on age, extent of re...
متن کاملMolecular Classification of Medulloblastoma
Medulloblastoma (MB) is one of the most frequent malignant brain tumors in children. The current standard treatment regimen consists of surgical resection, craniospinal irradiation, and adjuvant chemotherapy. Although these treatments have the potential to increase the survival of 70-80% of patients with MB, they are also associated with serious treatment-induced morbidity. The current risk str...
متن کاملA microRNA-1280/JAG2 network comprises a novel biological target in high-risk medulloblastoma
Over-expression of PDGF receptors (PDGFRs) has been previously implicated in high-risk medulloblastoma (MB) pathogenesis. However, the exact biological functions of PDGFRα and PDGFRβ signaling in MB biology remain poorly understood. Here, we report the subgroup specific expression of PDGFRα and PDGFRβ and their associated biological pathways in MB tumors. c-MYC, a downstream target of PDGFRβ bu...
متن کاملA molecular fingerprint for medulloblastoma.
Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor. In mice, Ptc1 haploinsufficiency and disruption of DNA repair (DNA ligase IV inactivation) or cell cycle regulation (Kip1, Ink4d, or Ink4c inactivation), in conjunction with p53 dysfunction, predispose to medulloblastoma. To identify genes important for this tumor, we evaluated gene expression profiles in medulloblastomas from ...
