LDHA and astrocytoma (excluding glioblastoma): Wang et al. found significant differential expression of 45 metabolism-associated genes among glioma histological types, including a higher expression of glycolysis-related proteins (hexokinase 2, lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, etc.)in astrocytomas compared to oligodendrogliomas8.
