Genetic Alterations in Medulloblastomas - MLL Genes as Targets for Diagnosis and Therapeutics

Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant brain tumor of children. To identify the genetic alterations in this tumor type, we searched for copy number alterations using high density microarrays and sequenced all known protein-coding genes and miRNA genes using Sanger sequencing. We found that, on average, each tumor had 11 gene alterations,...

Long Noncoding RNAs as Therapeutic and Diagnostic Markers for Childhood Cancer Medulloblastoma

Unmet NeedMedulloblastoma (MB) is the most common pediatric brain tumor and requires aggressive therapy in high-risk cases. MB is frequently resistant to treatment and is associated with high morbidity and mortality in affected individuals. There are four distinct molecular subgroups of MB (WNT, SHH, Group 3, and Group 4), which are characterized by...
