Pediatric low-grade gliomas (PLGGs) are among the most common solid tumors in children but, apart from mutations or duplications in the BRAF kinase in specific subclasses, few genetic driver events are known. Diffuse PLGGs compose a set of uncommon subtypes that exhibit invasive growth and are th...
Recurrent somatic H3 K27M mutations characterize midline pediatric high-grade astrocytomas (pHGAs). In 40 treatment-naïve midline pHGAs we find additional somatic mutations specific to tumor location. Gain-of-function mutations in ACVR1 occur in tumors of the pons in conjunction with H3.1K27M, whil...
Whole exome sequencing of paediatric glioblastoma with mutations reported in the manuscript: Mutations in ACVR1, FGFR1 and TP53 associate with tumor location in histone H3 K27M pediatric midline high-grade astrocytoma
