Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The proximate localization of MTAP, which encodes methylthioadenosine phosphorylase, and CDKN2A/B on Chromosome 9q21 has allowed the loss of MTAP expression as a surrogate for homozygous deletion of CDKN2A/B. This study aimed to determine whether MTAP status correlates with clinical outcomes and 11C-methionine uptake in astrocytomas with IDH mutations. METHODS: We conducted immunohistochemistry for MTAP...
