DNA methylation-based classification of central nervous system tumours

David Capper, +171 more
- 22 Mar 2018 - 
TL;DR: This work presents a comprehensive approach for the DNA methylation-based classification of central nervous system tumours across all entities and age groups, and shows that the availability of this method may have a substantial impact on diagnostic precision compared to standard methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Classification of Ependymal Tumors across All CNS Compartments, Histopathological Grades, and Age Groups

Kristian W. Pajtler, +61 more
- 11 May 2015 - 
TL;DR: The molecular classification proposed herein outperforms the current histopathological classification and thus might serve as a basis for the next World Health Organization classification of CNS tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recurrent somatic alterations of FGFR1 and NTRK2 in pilocytic astrocytoma

David T.W. Jones, +82 more
- 01 Aug 2013 - 
TL;DR: Recurrent activating mutations in FGFR1 and PTPN11 and new NTRK2 fusion genes in non-cerebellar tumors and new BRAF-activating changes were observed, indicating that pilocytic astrocytoma is predominantly a single-pathway disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

New Brain Tumor Entities Emerge from Molecular Classification of CNS-PNETs

Dominik Sturm, +122 more
- 25 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a significant proportion of institutionally diagnosed CNS-PNETs display molecular profiles indistinguishable from those of various other well-defined CNS tumor entities, facilitating diagnosis and appropriate therapy for patients with these tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic analysis of diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas identifies three molecular subgroups and recurrent activating ACVR1 mutations

TL;DR: This work integrated whole-genome sequencing with methylation, expression and copy number profiling, discovering that DIPGs comprise three molecularly distinct subgroups (H3-K27M, silent and MYCN) and uncovering a new recurrent activating mutation affecting the activin receptor gene ACVR1 in 20% of DIPG.
