Overview

The causes of glioma may include genetic factors and cytomegalovirus.

Causes

  • Genetic factors
  • Epigenetic repression of DNA repair genes is often found in progression to sporadic glioblastoma. For instance, methylation of the DNA repair gene O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase(MGMT) Promoter was observed in 51.3% to 66% of glioblastoma specimens.[2][3]
  • Epigenetic reductions in expression of another DNA repair protein, ERCC1, were found in an assortment of 32 gliomas.[4]
  • Mutations in gliomas frequently occur in either isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) 1 or 2 genes. One of these mutations (mostly in IDH1) occurs in about 80% of low grade gliomas and secondary high-grade gliomas.[5]
