Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 10 (LOH#10) is the most frequent genetic alteration in glioblastomas and occurs in more than 80% of cases. We recently reported that PTEN (MMAC1) on 10q23.3 is mutated in approximately 30% of primary (de novo) glioblastomas but rarely in secondary glioblastomas that progressed from low-grade or anaplastic astrocytomas. Because secondary glioblastomas also show LOH#10, tumor...
