Abstract/SynopsisProfessor Claus is a co-investigator for GLIOGENE, an international, multidisciplinary consortium of glioma researchers. The goal of this consortium is to identify susceptibility genes in high-risk familial brain tumor pedigrees by screening glioma patients within the United States, Europe, and Israel. The hypothesis is that there are specific discoverable genotypes that increase the risk of developing brain tumors. Professor Claus also conducts work with this group to refine treatment algorithms for patients diagnosed with low-grade gliomas.
