MUC16 is a member of the attached mucin family that encodes cancer antigen 125 (CA-125), but the association of MUC16 status with grade and subtypes of glioma patients has not yet been established. Data for MUC16 mRNA expression in 37 different cancer types were considered, and genomic data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) from 1051 low-grade glioma (LGG) patients and 833 glioblastoma (GBM) patients were analyzed. LGG and GBM has low expression of MUC16, but it is frequently mutated in GBM. K...
