Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we classified the recurrence pattern of IDH mutant gliomas into five patterns, and clarified that IDH mutant gliomas with mutation of p53 take remote recurrence and local recurrence. In the case of the intracranial remote recurrence pattern, we showed that intervention of nerve fibers between the initial and recurrent lesions in the image analysis, and an increase of the copy number variations in Q arm of the eighth chromosome in the analysis by the next generation sequencer (especially high copy gain in 8q22-24 region). Based on the above, now we are being investigating the C-MYC and the Wnt signaling pathway.
