As predicted based on previous studies showing promotion of GBM propagation by FOXG1:TLE1 (Verginelli et al., 2013), the identified target genes include several tumour suppressor, such as APITD1, BRCA1 and GADD45A (Asuthkar et al., 2011; Krona et al., 2004; Silver and Livingston, 2012). Here, FOXG1 is linked to glioblastoma.
