Results: Within glioblastomas that contacted the SVZ, tissue samples within the SVZ showed enrichment of gene sets involved in (epithelial-)mesenchymal transition, NF-κB and STAT3 signaling, angiogenesis and hypoxia, compared to the samples outside of the SVZ region from the same tumors (p < 0.05, FDR < 0.25). Here, NFKB1 is linked to glioblastoma.
