CDKN2A and Alpha-thalassemia: Current genetic markers of glioma also include codeletions of chromosomal arms 1p and 19q, histone H3F3A alterations, nuclear alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation X-linked syndrome (ATRX) gene mutations, O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation status, loss of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) amplification, combined gain of chromosome 7 and loss of chromosome 10 and telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter mutations [17].
