Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The purpose of this study was to explore the clinical significance of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter mutations in gliomas. METHODS AND RESULTS: We used DNA sequencing data to analyze 887 gliomas for TERT promoter mutations based on histological and genetic backgrounds. TERT promoter mutations were detected in 39.6% of low-grade gliomas, 40.3% of anaplastic gliomas, 44.7% of primary...
