Brain and CNS cancer are rare in comparison to other types of cancer. Currently there are no effective therapies for their treatment. In this study, meta-analysis of microarray datasets of Brain and CNS cancer was done to obtain significantly upregulated genes with increased statistical power and generalizability. A total of 130 significantly up-regulated genes were obtained. Some of the genes found during analysis have not yet been associated with this cancer. Different biological networks were created and analyzed using the significantly up-regulated genes as input. For each network, the most significant pathways have also been identified computationally.
