The genomic landscape of TERT promoter wildtype-IDH wildtype glioblastoma

The genomic landscape of TERT promoter wildtype-IDH wildtype glioblastoma

Glioblastoma can be classified based on IDH and TERT promoter mutations, but ~20% of glioblastoma do not have these mutations (TERT p WT-IDH WT glioblastoma). Here, the authors present a genetic landscape of TERTp WT-IDH WT glioblastoma, identifying a telomerase-positive subgroup driven by TERT-stru...

Description
Summary:Glioblastoma can be classified based on IDH and TERT promoter mutations, but ~20% of glioblastoma do not have these mutations (TERT p WT-IDH WT glioblastoma). Here, the authors present a genetic landscape of TERTp WT-IDH WT glioblastoma, identifying a telomerase-positive subgroup driven by TERT-structural rearrangements and an ALT-positive subgroup with mutations in ATRX or SMARCAL1.
