The second GBM dataset analyzed for the present study is available as supplementary material of a recent study[27 (link)]. Data include microarray expression profiles of 173 core TCGA samples unified and scaled from three gene expression platforms (Affymetrix HuEx array, Affymetrix U133A array, and Agilent 244K array). The authors of this study described a robust gene expression-based molecular classification of GBM into Proneural, Neural, Classical, and Mesenchymal subtypes and integrate multidimensional genomic data to establish patterns of somatic mutations and DNA copy number. Aberrations and gene expression of EGFR, NF1, PDGFRA/IDH1, and neuron markers (e.g. NEFL, GABRA1, SYT1, SLC12A5) each define the Classical, Mesenchymal, Proneural and Neural subtypes, respectively.
