Description
Summary from GEO:

"Glioma CIMP (G-CIMP) is a powerful determinant of tumor pathogenicity but the molecular cause of G-CIMP is a fundamental question that is unresolved. Here, we show that mutation of a single gene, isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1), directly causes the G-CIMP in gliomas by remodeling the methylome."

Overall design from GEO:

"In this study 81 glioma clinic samples (49 CIMP+ and 32 CIMP-) were analyzed. Parental IDH1 wild-type and IDH1 mutant cells were passaged until passage 50."
