Summaries for Brain Germinoma

About this section
Disease Ontology : 12 A brain cancer that is characterized by abnormally proliferating cells, derives from germ cells.

MalaCards based summary : Brain Germinoma, also known as intracranial germinoma, is related to central nervous system germinoma and embryonal carcinoma. An important gene associated with Brain Germinoma is AFP (Alpha Fetoprotein), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Wnt / Hedgehog / Notch and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Susceptibility Pathways. The drugs Ondansetron and Granisetron have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include brain, liver and spinal cord, and related phenotypes are Increased shRNA abundance (Z-score > 2) and Increased shRNA abundance (Z-score > 2)
