Unveiling Actionable Pathogenic Genes for Precision Oncology in Brain Cancers: Glioblastoma and Astrocytoma
Abstract: Glioblastoma (GBM) and astrocytoma are aggressive primary brain tumors characterized by significant molecular heterogeneity, complicating effective treatment. This study employed targeted next-generation sequencing of 529 cancer-associated genes on matched tumor-normal pairs from GBM and astrocytoma patients. Somatic variants were identified using a rigorous bioinformatic pipeline adhering to GATK Best Practices, with variant allele frequencies (VAF) calculated to assess clonal dominance. Functional annotation and driver mutation classification were performed using Ensemble …
