Characteristics and outcomes of diffuse non-midline gliomas with H3F3A gene mutation in the Kansai Molecular Diagnosis Network for CNS Tumors (Kansai Network): multicenter retrospective cohort study

Acta Neuropathologica Communications
Diffuse gliomas with H3F3A gene mutation such as H3.3 K27M and G34R/V are infrequently found in the cerebral hemisphere. These tumors may be called histone H3 K27M-mutant diffuse non-midline gliomas (NDMG) or H3 G34-mutant diffuse hemispheric gliomas ...
