Abstract excerpt
We have comparatively analyzed mechanisms associated with chromosomal and microsatellite instability in giant cell glioblastoma multiforme (gcGBM) and classic GBM. This included microsatellite instability (MSI), loss of expression of four major mismatch repair (MMR) proteins, aberrations of five chromosomes, EGFR copy number, and TP53 mutations. MSI was more frequent among gcGBM (30 vs. 7.8%, P = 0.054). TP53...
