For instance, compared to low-grade gliomas and other brain tumor entities, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells display a relatively high leptin and ObR expression profile, suggesting a role for the leptin/ObR ratio in the development and recurrence of high-grade, aggressive gliomas (glioblastoma; cell growth, invasion, migration) [1]. The gene discussed is LEP; the disease is glioblastoma.
