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, KMT2D, CTNNB1, and FBXW7 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Malignant Brain Neoplasm

TP53 Mutation, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Missense, KMT2D Mutation, and CTNNB1 Mutation are the most common alterations in malignant brain neoplasm [2].
