Genes such as C5AR1 (complement receptor), SLC32A1 (vesicular gamma-aminobutyric acid transporter), MSR1 (or CD204, scavenger receptor A), and SYT5 (synaptotagmin 5) were differentially expressed and comprised in gene signatures specific to NL IDH-WT gliomas which were validated further using the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas datasets. The gene discussed is MSR1; the disease is glioma.
