Next-generation molecular genetics of brain tumours.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Systematic use of next-generation sequencing technologies has transformed the field of cancer genomics, leading to the identification of genetic alterations in an unanticipated number of genes and regulatory elements. Here, we review recent advances in brain tumour genomics and highlight how these findings improve classification and diagnosis of brain tumours. RECENT FINDING...
متن کاملGenetics and epigenetics of gliomas.
Gliomas are the most common primary intrinsic brain tumours. Their classification is based on phenotypic resemblance to normal glial cells (astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, mixed oligoastrocytomas) and pathological grading. Whereas this system is clinically relevant and has been the basis for our understanding of gliomas, systematic use of next-generation sequencing has transformed our knowled...
متن کاملDistinctive molecular profiles of high-grade and low-grade gliomas based on oligonucleotide microarray analysis.
Astrocytomas are heterogeneous intracranial glial neoplasms ranging from the highly aggressive malignant glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) to the indolent, low-grade pilocytic astrocytoma. We have investigated whether DNA microarrays can identify gene expression differences between high-grade and low-grade glial tumors. We compared the transcriptional profile of 45 astrocytic tumors including 21 GB...

Astrocytomas are heterogeneous intracranial glial neoplasms ranging from the highly aggressive malignant glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) to the indolent, low-grade pilocytic astrocytoma. We have investigated whether DNA microarrays can identify gene expression differences between highgrade and low-grade glial tumors.

متن کاملComparative gene expression profile analysis of neurofibromatosis 1-associated and sporadic pilocytic astrocytomas.
Pilocytic astrocytomas (PAs) are WHO grade I brain tumors that do not typically progress to more malignant grades of astrocytoma. Whereas there have been significant advances in the molecular genetics of high-grade astrocytomas, relatively little is known about the genetic changes associated with PA formation. In an effort to better characterize these low-grade neoplasms, we compared the gene e...
