Association of EGFR Gene Amplification and CDKN2 (p16/MTS1) Gene Deletion in Glioblastoma Multiforme

Abstract excerpt

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) can be divided into genetic subsets: approximately one-third of GBM, primarily in older adults, have EGFR amplification; another one-third, primarily in younger adults, have TP53 mutation. The majority of GBM also have homozygous deletions of the CDKN2 (p16/MTS1) gene, resulting in cell cycle deregulation and elevated proliferation indices. We evaluated the relationship between CDKN2...
