The level of IER5 was significantly correlated with WHO grade [OR = 6.71 (4.34–10.68) for G4 vs. G2 and G3], IDH (isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme) status [OR = 13.35 (8.92–20.46) for wild-type (WT) vs. mutated (Mut)], epidermal growth factor receptor status [OR = 8.42 (4.32–18.43) for Mut vs. WT], age [OR = 0.27 (0.18–0.41) for ≤ 60 years vs. >60 years], and histological type [OR = 7.13 (4.63–11.31] for glioblastoma vs. astrocytoma, oligoastrocytoma, and oligodendroglioma). Here, EGFR is linked to oligodendroglioma.
