Associated Genetic Biomarkers

Overview

NCI Definition: A grade III or grade IV glioma arising from the central nervous system. This category includes glioblastoma, anaplastic astrocytoma, anaplastic ependymoma, anaplastic oligodendroglioma, and anaplastic oligoastrocytoma. [1]

Malignant gliomas most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, CDKN2A, PTEN, CDKN2B, and EGFR [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Malignant Glioma

TP53 Mutation, TP53 Missense, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, CDKN2A Loss, and CDKN2B Loss are the most common alterations in malignant glioma [2].
