Research title
Exome sequencing of primary central nervous system lymphoma
Research overview
Aims: Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare type lymphoma confined to the central nervous system. Effective therapies against PCNSL are severely limited. By conducting whole exome sequencing of PCNSL specimens, we aimed to reveal molecular mechanism underlying PCNSL carcinogenesis.
Methods: Genomic DNA was extracted from surgically resected PCNSL tissues and paired peripheral blood, and subjected to Exome analysis. RNA extracted from surgically resected PCNSL tissues was subjected to RNA-seq analysis.
Targets: Forty-one cases diagnosed to have PCNSL
