We extracted DNA from the glioma samples including glioblastoma and performed a methylation analysis of DNA promoter region and genetic anlaysis such as mutation of IDH and 1p19q codeltion. Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis identified G-CIMP and its strong association with IDH mutation. We selected CIMP markers which were differentially methylated in CIMP positive gliomas. CIMP marker genes showed distinct patterns of specific histone modification, suggesting the possibility of personalized treatment for the new targets.
