Diffuse midline glioma-H3K27M mutant. A novel entity with a defining and specific IHC marker
Diffuse Midline Glioma-H3K27M mutant is a specific entity added to the 2016 updated WHO classification of CNS tumours that represents the majority of diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas, although identical tumours are also found elsewhere in the midline ...

Liquid biopsy in H3K27M diffuse midline glioma
Abstract Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) with H3K27M mutation is an aggressive and difficult to treat pediatric brain tumor. Recurrent gain of function mutations in H3.3 (H3.3A) and H3.1 (H3C2) at the 27th lysine to methionine (H3K27M) are seen in over 2/3 of DMGs, and are associated with a worse prognosis. Due to the anatomical location of

Emerging roles of telomeric chromatin alterations in cancer [PDF]
Telomeres, the nucleoprotein structures that cap the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, play important and multiple roles in tumorigenesis. Functional telomeres need the establishment of a protective chromatin structure based on the interplay between the ...

Pediatric Diffuse Midline Gliomas: An Unfinished Puzzle
Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is a heterogeneous group of aggressive pediatric brain tumors with a fatal prognosis. The biological hallmark in the major part of the cases is H3K27 alteration. Prognosis remains poor, with median survival ranging from 9 to 12 months from diagnosis.

Duplications of KIAA1549 and BRAF screening by Droplet Digital PCR from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded DNA is an accurate alternative for KIAA1549-BRAF fusion detection in pilocytic astrocytomas [PDF]
Pilocytic astrocytomas represent the most common glioma subtype in young patients and account for 5.4% of all gliomas. They are characterized by alterations in the RAS–MAP kinase pathway, the most frequent being a tandem duplication on chromosome 7q34 ...

Clinicohistoradiological and Surgical Outcome in Diffuse Midline Glioma
Abstract Purpose Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) with H3K27M mutation is a rare and aggressive midline high grade glioma with a predominant astrocytic differentiation and K27M mutation in either H3F3A or HIST1H3B/C. This tumor is more common in children than in adults. The current study was aimed to determine clinicohistoradiological and surgical

Molecular, pathological, radiological, and immune profiling of non-brainstem pediatric high-grade glioma from the HERBY phase II randomized trial [PDF]
The HERBY trial was a phase II open-label, randomized, multicenter trial evaluating bevacizumab (BEV) in addition to temozolomide/radiotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed non-brainstem high-grade glioma (HGG) between the ages of 3 and 18 years.

Diffuse midline glioma with H3 K27M-mutation in an 83-year-old woman
Diffuse midline gliomas harboring histone H3 K27M mutations are most commonly found in the brainstem of children. This mutation confers a WHO grade IV designation and is associated with a particularly poor prognosis.
