We show that the expression of α-syn, a TP53 transcriptional target and a key molecular player in Parkinson’s disease, is detected in 1p/19q-codeleted and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant oligodendroglioma and in IDH-wild-type glioblastoma, while reduced in glioblastoma biopsies, corroborating the link of α-syn expression with a better prognosis among all glioma patients. This evidence concerns the gene TP53 and glioblastoma.
