Associated Genetic Biomarkers

Overview

NCI Definition: A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm affecting the brain. [1]

Malignant brain neoplasms most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, PTCH1, ATM, PIK3CA, and FBXW7 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Malignant Brain Neoplasm

TP53 Mutation, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Missense, PTCH1 Mutation, and ATM Mutation are the most common alterations in malignant brain neoplasm [2].
