Abstract excerpt
Ependymomas are glial cell-derived tumors. They are, in contrast to other gliomas (astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, and oligoastrocytomas), ill-defined with respect to the genes and chromosomal segments important in their tumorigenesis. In this study, we extensively screened 17 ependymomas for g...
