Together with several independent studies over the last decade, the genomic characterization of GBM undertaken by The Cancer Genome Atlas Research Network has helped to identify clinically-relevant subgroups of GBM that may benefit from therapeutics targeting growth factor pathways such as those of platelet-derived growth factor, EGF, HGF, and critical downstream effectors such as PIK3CA [13,14,15,45]. The gene discussed is HGF; the disease is glioblastoma.
