Dissecting the Methylomes of -Amplified Glioblastoma Reveals Altered DNA Replication and Packaging, and Chromatin and Gene Silencing Pathways.

Glioblastoma IDH wildtype is the most frequent brain tumor in adults. It shows a highly malignant behavior and devastating outcomes. To date, there is still no targeted therapy available; thus, patients' median survival is limited to 12-15 months.

Methylome Profiling of PD-L1-Expressing Glioblastomas Shows Enrichment of Post-Transcriptional and RNA-Associated Gene Regulation.

Glioblastomas are the most frequent primary brain tumors in adults. They show highly malignant behavior and devastating outcomes. Since there are still no targeted therapies available, median survival remains in the range of 12 to 15 months for glioblastoma patients.

Amplification Is a Phenomenon of Wildtype and Mutated High-Grade Glioma: An Integrated Analysis Using Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization and DNA Methylome Profiling.

Gliomas are the most common intrinsic brain tumors in adults, and in accordance with their clinical behavior and patients' outcome, they are graded by the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of brain tumors. One very interesting candidate for targeted tumor therapy may be epidermal growth factor receptor () amplification. Here, we performed an integrated comparative analysis of amplification in 34 glioma samples using standard fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and Illumina EPIC Infinium Methylation Bead Chip and correlated results with molecular glioma hallmarks.

A patient with two gliomas with independent oligodendroglioma and glioblastoma biology proved by DNA-methylation profiling: a case report and review of the literature.

Here, we report on a patient presenting with two histopathologically distinct gliomas. At the age of 42, the patient underwent initial resection of a right temporal oligodendroglioma IDH mutated 1p/19q co-deleted WHO Grade II followed by adjuvant radiochemotherapy with temozolomide. 15 months after initial diagnosis, the patient showed right hemispheric tumor progression and an additional new left frontal contrast enhancement in the subsequent imaging.

Genotypical glioblastoma of the frontal lobe mimicking ganglioglioma: A case report and review of the literature.

This case of severe phenotype-genotype mismatch brain tumor morphologically mimicking benign ganglioglioma emphasizes the urgent need for advanced molecular profiling in brain tumor diagnosis in the era of sophisticated molecular profiling.
