Integrative analysis of DNA methylation and gene expression profiles to identify biomarkers of glioblastoma.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common, most invasive, and malignant type of primary brain tumor with poor prognosis and poor survival rate. Using GSE22891 the expression and methylation status of same GBM patients was evaluated to identify key epigenetic genes in GBM. Using |log2FC| > 1 and FDR 〈 0.
