Project description:We have discovered two major molecular subgroups of PFA molecular group posterior fossa ependymomas by DNA methylation profiling. These are also distinguished by gene expression profiling using Affymetrix U133v2 arrays with correspondence to data generated by DNA methylation profiling.
Project description:A subgroup of Posterior fossa ependymomas show reduced H3K27me3 are more invasive, exhibit poor prognosis and epigenetically deregulated genes converge on radial glial factors, suggesting developing cerebellar radial glia as candidate cells-of-origin.
Project description:A subgroup of Posterior fossa ependymomas show reduced H3K27me3, global DNA hypomethylation, are more invasive, exhibit poor prognosis and epigenetically deregulated genes converge on radial glial factors, suggesting developing cerebellar radial glia as candidate cells-of-origin.
