This conclusion is further supported by the findings of several of microarray and next‐generation sequencing gene expression studies that were performed using primary human medulloblastoma; however, the findings of these studies did not suggest REST as a factor in sustaining the tumor cell growth (Cavalli et al., 2017; Hooper et al., 2014; Jones et al., 2012; Thompson et al., 2006). The gene discussed is REST; the disease is medulloblastoma.
