Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The pattern of allelic loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and PTEN mutations appear to be associated with the progression of gliomas leading to a decrement in the survival rate of patients. This present study was carried out to determine the LOH and PTEN mutational status in glioma patients and its association with patients' survival. METHODS: Thirty-seven Malaysian glioma patients of the Malay race were...
