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.

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 ...

Schwannomatosis is characterized by a predisposition to develop multiple schwannomas and rarely meningiomas. People with schwannomatosis are most commonly present between the second and fourth decades of life. The most common feature is localized or diffuse pain or an asymptomatic mass. Schwannomas most commonly involve peripheral and spinal nerves. We

Pediatric spinal ependymomas: Long‐term surgical outcomes in a cohort of 61 cases
Spinal ependymomas are rare in children, with limited long‐term outcome data. In this retrospective study of 61 pediatric patients undergoing surgical resection, gross total resection was achieved in 62.3% and was associated with favorable functional improvement. Recurrence was observed in 31.1% of cases.

Schwannomatosis is a rare tumor syndrome characterized by more than one schwannoma without any evidence of other manifestations of neurofibromatosis (NF). A 32-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of weakness in her lower extremities. Neurological examination revealed paraparesis with hypoesthesia below T8 level.

Quantitative assessment of whole-body tumor burden in adult patients with neurofibromatosis. [PDF]
Patients with neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1), NF2, and schwannomatosis are at risk for multiple nerve sheath tumors and premature mortality. Traditional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has limited ability to assess disease burden accurately.

The frequency and severity of congenital heart disease vary extensively in individuals with 22q11.22–23 distal deletions. Reduced gene dosage particularly within the low copy repeat (LCR22) D–E region including MAPK1 and HIC2 conveys risk for these defects.
