Several typical genetic and epigenetic alterations in glioblastoma include mutations in genes regulating receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)/rat sarcoma (RAS)/phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), p53, and retinoblastoma protein (RB) signalling, as well as mutation of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), methylation of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), amplification of epidermal growth factor receptor vIII, and codeletion of 1p/19q. Here, MGMT is linked to glioblastoma.
