Classification of Glioblastoma Multiforme in Adults by Molecular Genetics

Abstract excerpt

Recent advances in cytogenetic and molecular methodologies have elucidated certain principal characteristics of oncogenesis in glioblastoma multiforme. The earliest clues implicate gene sequence alterations, such as gene amplification and numerical gain or loss of function in specific chromosomes. Genetic classification and expression patterns have thus been constructed, conferring the likelihood of two types of...
