Abstract

We have extended our understanding of the molecular biology that underlies adult glioblastoma over many years. By contrast, high-grade gliomas in children and adolescents have remained a relatively under-investigated disease. The latest large-scale genomic and epigenomic profiling studies have yielded an unprecedented abundance of novel data and provided deeper insights into gliomagenesis across all age groups, which has highlighted key distinctions but also some commonalities. As we are on the verge of dissecting glioblastomas into meaningful biological subgroups, this Review summarizes the hallmark genetic alterations that are associated with distinct epigenetic features and patient characteristics in both paediatric and adult disease, and examines the complex interplay between the glioblastoma genome and epigenome.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • PDGFRA is an established glioma oncogene.

    “Genes in top scoring domains include PDGFRA (p<10−21), an established glioma oncogene22, and other candidate regulators of gliomagenesis (Table S1).”
  • FIP1L1 encodes an RNA processing protein that is constitutively expressed in neural tissues and particularly active in oligodendrocyte precursors.

    “FIP1L1 encodes an RNA processing protein that is constitutively expressed in neural tissues, and particularly active in oligodendrocyte precursors, a putative glioma cell-of-origin22 (Extended Data Fig. 2a).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
