Molecular-genetic and clinicopathological prognostic factors in patients with gliomas showing total 1p19q loss: gain of chromosome 19p and histological grade III negatively correlate with patient's prognosis.

abstract：PURPOSE:Elongation of telomeres is necessary for tumor cell immortalization and senescence escape; neoplastic cells use to alternative pathways to elongate telomeres: telomerase reactivation or a telomerase-independent mechanism termed alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). Telomerase and ALT pathway has been expl...
