Subgroup-specific structural variation across 1,000 medulloblastoma genomes

Paul A. Northcott, +139 more
- 02 Aug 2012 - 
TL;DR: Somatic copy number aberrations (SCNAs) in 1,087 unique medulloblastomas are reported, including recurrent events targeting TGF-β signalling in Group 3, and NF-κB signalling in Groups 4, which suggest future avenues for rational, targeted therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNA profiling in human medulloblastoma

TL;DR: Specific microRNA expression patterns which distinguish medulloblastoma differing in histotypes, in molecular features and in disease‐risk stratification are identified, and misregulated microRNAs expression profiles characterize human medullOBlastomas, and may provide potential targets for novel therapeutic strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cytogenetic Prognostication Within Medulloblastoma Subgroups

David Shih, +95 more
TL;DR: A small panel of cytogenetic biomarkers is identified that reliably identifies very high-risk and very low-risk groups of patients, making it an excellent tool for selecting patients for therapy intensification and therapy de-escalation in future clinical trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hedgehog controls neural stem cells through p53-independent regulation of Nanog

TL;DR: It is shown that Nanog is highly expressed in SCs from postnatal cerebellum and medulloblastoma, and acts as a critical mediator of Hh‐driven self‐renewal, which represents a crucial component of an integrated circuitry determining cell fate decision and involved in the maintenance of cancer SCs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laminotomy and total reconstruction of the posterior spinal arch for spinal canal surgery in childhood

TL;DR: Indications in infants and children, the surgical technique, and the postoperative management are presented and the goal is preservation of the normal architecture of the spine in patients who are still developing.
