Abstract excerpt
Telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter (TERTp) hotspot mutations are the most frequent mutations in primary glioblastomas (GBM). Previous studies have shown that the combination of TERTp and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) status may serve as a useful diagnostic marker for oligodendroglioma and glioblastoma. In oligodendrogliomas, TERTp and IDH mutations, along with the 1p/19q codeletion, usually coexist and...
