A subset of 13 prognostic genes was found to be shared by LGG and GBM, 10 of which (DRD1, HTR1E, HTR3B, GABRA1, GABRA4, GABRB2, GABRG2, GRIN1, GRM7, and ADRA1B) were associated with favorable prognostics for LGG, but were unfavorable for GBM. This evidence concerns the gene GABRA4 and glioblastoma.
