Abstract excerpt
Allelic loss of 10q is a common genetic event in malignant gliomas, with three 10q tumor suppressor genes, ERCC6, PTEN, and DMBT1, putatively implicated in the most common type of malignant glioma, glioblastoma. Anaplastic oligodendroglioma, another type of malignant glioma, provides a unique opportunity to study the relevance of particular genetic alterations to chemosensitivity and survival. We therefore...
