Table 1 Clinical Characteristics of 81 Patients with Glioma

Figure 1 The landscape of genetic alterations in 75 of 83 samples (90.36%) from 81 glioma cases. Genetic mutations were identified by targeted next-generation sequencing in the tumor tissues of patients. The upper panel shows the numbers of nonsynonymous single‑nucleotide variants, small insertions or deletions and copy number variants in each tumor. The heat map below shows genes with somatic mutations sorted according to the mutation frequency. Mutations (n) is the number of mutations per gene.

Table 2 Distributions of Representative Genomic Alterations and Clinical Characteristics Between the Different Pathological Subtypes with Glioma

Figure 4 Copy number variation (CNV) analysis. (A) Distribution shift of CNVs in 26 of 83 glioma samples (31.33%). Copy number losses (blue) and gains (pink) were determined from sequencing data. CNVs (n) is the number of mutations per gene. (B) Comparison of mutation frequencies of CNVs among the top 15 genes from the Chinese and MSKCC cohorts. The commonly CNV genes are arranged in order on the horizontal axis. The vertical axis represents the CNV frequency obtained from a different cohort.
