Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have indicated a prognostic role for genome-wide methylation in gliomas: Tumors that show an overall increase in DNA methylation at CpG sites (CIMP+; CpG island methylator phenotype) have a more favorable prognosis than CIMP- gliomas. Here, we have determined whether methylation profiling can identify more and clinically relevant molecular subtypes of glioma by performing genome-wide methylation...
