Statistically significant differences in progression-free survival (PFS) were also observed among all G4 astrocytomas that expressed PRMT5 and received either temozolomide (TMZ) or TMZ plus other chemotherapies, regardless of their IDH or MGMT-methylation status (p-value=0.0014). The gene discussed is MGMT; the disease is astrocytoma (excluding glioblastoma).
