Prof. Jiao introduced the pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PanNET) cancer genome atlas [6] and proposed that given their prognosis power in PanNET, mutations in the gene encoding alpha thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked/death-domain associated protein (ATRX/DAXX) may play an equally important role in glioma pathogenesis. Here, ATRX is linked to central nervous system cancer.
