Citação:
"The international study - the biggest genetic investigation of brain cancer ever conducted - analysed DNA data from more than 30,000 participants with and without glioma.

Results from two new genome-wide studies looking at a person’s entire genetic code were combined with findings from six previous studies.

Of the 13 previously unknown genetic changes linked to glioma, one increased the risk of developing the disease by a third and the rest by at least 15% each.

The mutations affected nerve cell multiplication, DNA repair, protein production, inflammation, and the “cell cycle” - the series of events leading to cell division."
