Molecular genetics of human glioma.

Abstract excerpt

This review focuses on genes that have a proven or presumed role in the genesis of astrocytic tumors. A common theme in glioblastoma is the amplification of genes that code for growth factor receptors of the protein-tyrosine kinase family (epidermal growth factor receptor, platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha, met).
