Cases of training and validation series were gathered. Standard deviation is indicated between brackets. Number of cases is precised between brackets. The threshold of significance P < 0.05 was adjusted for multiple comparison by Bonferroni method. The adjusted threshold is P < 0.0045. Abbreviations: co‐del., co‐deletion; IHC, immunohistochemistry; microvasc., microvascular; NS, non‐significant; OA3, anaplastic oligo‐astrocytoma; OD3, anaplastic oligodendroglioma; S, significant; wt, wildtype, y: years.
