Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Medulloblastoma (MB) is an embryonal tumour that originates from genetic deregulation of cerebellar developmental pathways and is classified into 4 molecular subgroups: SHH, WNT, group 3, and group 4. Hydroxymethylation levels progressively increases during cerebellum development suggesting a possibility of deregulation in MB pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate global...
