Data obtained from a published study by Pomeroy et al. [42] which compared gene expression profiles of different cohorts of classic and desmoplastic medulloblastomas, supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor, atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor and glioblastoma vs. normal cerebellum, showed that the LIFR was over-expressed in classic medulloblastoma, demosplastic medulloblastoma and in glioblastoma when compared to normal cerebellum. Here, LIFR is linked to glioblastoma.
