Kaplan-Meier curve of overall survival (OS) in glioma patients (n = 412). a Comparison of OS in the subsets of patients aged older than and younger than 45 years (top panel, n = 236 and n = 176, respectively, p < 0.0001). Patients younger than 45 years in different telomere maintenance mechanism (TMM) groups (middle panel, p = 0.11) and patients older than 45 years in different TMM groups (bottom panel, p = 0.92). b Comparison of OS in the subsets of patients with relative telomerase activity (RTA) below 2 and above 2 (top panel, n = 163 and n = 249, respectively, p < 0.015). Patients younger than 45 (middle panel, p = 0.015) and patients older than 45 (bottom panel, p = 0.055) with relative telomerase activity (RTA) below 2 and above 2
