Glioma GliomaGlioma is a type of tumor that occurs in the brain and spinal cord. Gliomas begin in the supportive glial cells that surround nerve cells and help them to function: astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymal cells. All three of these cell types can be precursors to tumors. Gliomas are classified according to the type of glial cell involved in the tumor, as well as the tumor's genetic features, which can help predict how the tumor will behave over time (Ostrom QT et al. (2014)). As a group, gliomas are one of the most common types of brain tumors and comprise about 30 percent of all brain tumors and central nervous system tumors (Goodenberger ML et al. (2012)). A glioma can affect brain function and be life-threatening depending on its location and rate of growth. Gliomas do not usually metastasize via the bloodstream, but they can spread through cerebrospinal fluid to the spinal cord (NIH). Differential Abundance Analysis ResultsThis section presents the results of the differential protein abundance analysis, visualized through a volcano plot and summarized in the accompanying table for all three comparisons: 1) disease vs. healthy samples, 2) disease vs. diseases from the same class, and 3) disease vs. all other diseases.

Figure 1: In the volcano plot, proteins are plotted based on their fold change (logFC) on the x-axis and the statistical significance of the change (-log10 adjusted p-value) on the y-axis. Proteins considered differentially abundant are highlighted, defined by an adjusted p-value < 0.05 and an absolute logFC > 0.5.
Table 1: The summary table lists the results for all comparisons, sorted by p-value by default. It includes key metrics such as fold change and adjusted p-value, to allow exploration of the most significant proteins for each comparison.
