Amide proton transfer-weighted imaging of pediatric brainstem glioma and its predicted value for H3 K27 alteration [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Non-invasive determination of H3 K27 alteration of pediatric brainstem glioma (pedBSG) remains a clinical challenge. PURPOSE: To predict H3 K27-altered pedBSG using amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) imaging.

An exceptionally rare case of a diffuse midline glioma with concomitant H3.1 K27M and G34R mutations in the HIST1H3C (H3C3) gene [PDF]
Histone mutations (H3 K27M, H3 G34R/V) are molecular features defining subtypes of paediatric-type diffuse high-grade gliomas (HGG) (diffuse midline glioma (DMG), H3 K27-altered, diffuse hemispheric glioma (DHG), H3 G34-mutant).

Bench-to-bedside investigations of H3 K27-altered diffuse midline glioma: drug targets and potential pharmacotherapies. [PDF]
H3 K27-altered diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is the most common malignant brainstem tumor in the pediatric population. Despite enormous preclinical and clinical efforts, the prognosis remains dismal, with fewer than 10% of patients surviving for two years after diagnosis.

Adult H3 K27-altered, H3.3 K27-mutant diffuse midline glioma affecting the conus medullaris: illustrative case. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) H3 K27–altered is a rare CNS tumor that predominantly affects midline structures in children. A relatively new subtype of glioma, it was first classified in 2016 and was further expanded in 2021 to include 4 molecular subtypes.

10179-NI-8 CLINICORADIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF H3 K27-ALTERED THALAMIC GLIOMAS [PDF]
Abstract BACKGROUND Diffuse midline glioma (DMG), H3 K27-altered (CNS WHO grade 4, 2021), exhibits diverse imaging features, and its characteristics have not yet been established. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the imaging ...

H3 K27-altered diffuse midline glioma of the thalamus with formation of glio-fibrillary globular structures. [PDF]
A case of diffuse midline glioma (DMG), H3 K27-altered, that arose in the right thalamus of a 14-year-old boy is reported. The patient died of tumor spread after a progressive clinical course of approximately 13 months. Histopathologically, the tumor consisted of a mixture of loose proliferation of stellate cells and compact fascicular growth of ...

H3 K27M-Altered Diffuse Midline Gliomas: A Review
Diffuse midline glioma H3 K27M-altered is a recently renamed high-grade glioma in the 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Central Nervous System Tumors, previously being labelled diffuse midline glioma H3 K27M-mutant in the 2016 update

Ara-C suppresses H3 K27-altered spinal cord diffuse midline glioma growth and enhances immune checkpoint blockade sensitivity. [PDF]
H3 K27–altered spinal cord diffuse midline glioma (H3-SCDMG) poses therapeutic challenges. Analysis of 73 clinical samples revealed heightened proliferation in H3-SCDMG versus wild-type tumors, suggesting therapeutic vulnerabilities. Drug screening identified cytarabine (Ara-C) as highly effective in inhibiting proliferation in H3 K27M cell models ...

Posterior fossa group A ependymomas (EPN_PFA) are characterized by a loss of H3 K27 trimethylation due to either EZHIP overexpression or H3 p.K27M mutation, similar to H3 K27-altered diffuse midline gliomas (DMG), but in reverse proportions.

A review of current therapeutics targeting the mitochondrial protease ClpP in diffuse midline glioma, H3 K27-altered. [PDF]
Abstract Diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) are devastating pediatric brain tumors recognized as the leading cause of cancer-related death in children. DMGs are high-grade gliomas (HGGs) diagnosed along the brain’s midline. Euchromatin is the hallmark feature of DMG, caused by global hypomethylation of H3K27 either through point mutations in
