Medulloblastoma is the most common pediatric CNS cancer. In order to identify important molecules important for deregulated tumor cell growth, we use microarray to detail the global gene expression profile in Shh-driven mouse medulloblastomas and determine the most differentially expressed genes compared to the control wild-type cerebellum.
Voltage-gated potassium channel EAG2 controls mitotic entry and tumor growth in medulloblastoma via regulating cell volume dynamics.

Despite an overall favorable prognosis, distant metastases, subarachnoid dissemination, and late recurrences have been reported. Currently the only effective treatment for MPE is gross-total resection. We characterized the genomic and transcriptional landscape of spinal ependymomas in an effort to delineate the genetic basis of this disease and identify new leads for therapy.
