Median overall survival times, total numbers, and p values from the 61, 16, and 8 gene selections for both LGG (with further differentiation by grade) and GBM. While only weak evidence exists for differences of median overall survival times under the 61 gene set for Grade 2 patients, both the 16 gene set and 8 gene set produce statistically strong evidence for distinct subpopulations.
