Discovery of mutated oncodriver genes associated with glioblastoma originated from stem cells of subventricular zone through whole exome sequence profile analysis, and drug repurpo... by Arnob Sarker, Burhan Uddin, Reaz Ahmmed, Sabkat Mahmud, Alvira Ajadee, Md. Al Amin Pappu, Md. Abdul Aziz, Md. Nurul Haque Mollah

“…It may be happened because of drug resistance against their typical receptors, since these receptor genes are often mutated by environmental stress. So identifying mutated oncodriver genes which could be used as potential drug target is essential in order to develop effective new therapeutic drugs as well as better prognosis for GBM patients. …”
