Abstract excerpt
Tumor suppressor NF1 is recurrently mutated in glioblastoma, leading to aberrant activation of Ras/rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma (RAF)/MEK signaling. However, how tumor heterogeneity shapes the molecular landscape and efficacy of targeted therapies remains unclear. Here, we combined bulk and single-cell genomics of human somatic NF1-mutant, isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild-type glioblastomas with functional...
