GSK3B and astrocytoma (excluding glioblastoma): In this study, 64 astrocytoma samples of grades II–IV were analyzed for genetic and epigenetic changes as well as protein expression patterns in order to explore the roles of the Wnt pathway components, such as DKK1, DKK3, GSK3β, β-catenin, and APC in astrocytoma initiation and progression.
