Comprehensive genomic characterization defines human glioblastoma genes and core pathways

Roger E. McLendon, +233 more
- 23 Oct 2008 - 
TL;DR: The interim integrative analysis of DNA copy number, gene expression and DNA methylation aberrations in 206 glioblastomas reveals a link between MGMT promoter methylation and a hypermutator phenotype consequent to mismatch repair deficiency in treated gliobeasts, demonstrating that it can rapidly expand knowledge of the molecular basis of cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glioma stem cells promote radioresistance by preferential activation of the DNA damage response

TL;DR: This work shows that cancer stem cells contribute to glioma radioresistance through preferential activation of the DNA damage checkpoint response and an increase in DNA repair capacity, and suggests that CD133-positive tumour cells could be the source of tumour recurrence after radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comprehensive, Integrative Genomic Analysis of Diffuse Lower-Grade Gliomas.

Daniel J. Brat, +306 more
TL;DR: The integration of genomewide data from multiple platforms delineated three molecular classes of lower-grade gliomas that were more concordant with IDH, 1p/19q, and TP53 status than with histologic class.
