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,...

Using human neural stem cells to model brain tumors

ABSTRACTJHU researchers developed a new method to generate genetically accurate models of rare tumors, and a companion computational methodology to find therapeutic interventions that target them. They validated their human neural stem cell model of MYC-driven Group 3 medulloblastoma and showed that CDK4/6 inhibitors are active against this subgroup....
