We report the clinical and genetic features of an institutional cohort of primary adult gliosarcomas compared to glioblastoma. We performed spatial whole‐transcriptome analysis on glial and sarcomatous regions of four cases to compare gene expression profiles and validated differential protein expression for two markers in tissue sections.

The WHO Classification of Genetic Tumour Syndromes: Considerations for Genetics
The WHO Classification of Tumours underpins the diagnosis of neoplastic conditions. The new WHO classification of genetic tumour syndromes (GTS) provides international standards for their diagnosis. This diagram highlights the chromosomal distribution of the genes involved in the GTS covered in this classification.

Selumetinib as a Target Therapy in Progressive Paediatric Low‐Grade Gliomas—Case Series (pLGG)
ABSTRACT Background Optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) occur in 15%–20% of children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). While smaller gliomas may be only monitored, the current standard of care for symptomatic ones relies on chemotherapy, most commonly carboplatin and vincristine.

Periodontal Disease and Salivary Gland Dysfunction in Neurofibromatosis Type 1: A Case–Control Study
ABSTRACT Objectives Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) presents with diverse systemic and oral manifestations. The aim of this study was to investigate the periodontal status and salivary alterations in NF1 individuals. Methods A total of 38 individuals with NF1 diagnostic criteria were compared with a control group paired by age and sex.

The 9th International RASopathies Symposium
ABSTRACT The RASopathies are a group of congenital disorders with overlapping clinical manifestations that are caused by pathogenic germline or early somatic variants that result in the hyperactivation of the RAS/mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT A comprehensive synthesis of the broad range of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric manifestations in NF1 is needed to identify knowledge gaps and future directions for NF1 research. In the following scoping review, we identify and summarize the scope of research that examines neurodevelopmental and psychiatric manifestations, both as ...
