Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic analysis of diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas identifies three molecular subgroups and recurrent activating ACVR1 mutations

TL;DR: This work integrated whole-genome sequencing with methylation, expression and copy number profiling, discovering that DIPGs comprise three molecularly distinct subgroups (H3-K27M, silent and MYCN) and uncovering a new recurrent activating mutation affecting the activin receptor gene ACVR1 in 20% of DIPG.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pediatric central nervous system germ cell tumors: a review.

TL;DR: Central nervous system (CNS) germ cell tumors (GCTs) represent approximately 3% of primary pediatric brain tumors and encompass a wide pathologic spectrum and treatment and prognosis differ greatly between groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Survivin splice variants regulate the balance between proliferation and cell death

TL;DR: It is shown that the diverse functional roles of survivin can be explained, in part, by its heterodimerization with survivin splice variants in tumor cells, which is likely to have a significant impact in the design of biologic agents for clinical therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integrated (epi)-Genomic Analyses Identify Subgroup-Specific Therapeutic Targets in CNS Rhabdoid Tumors

TL;DR: It is discovered that differential methylation of a PDGFRB-associated enhancer confers specific sensitivity of group 2 ATRT cells to dasatinib and nilotinib, and it is suggested that these are promising therapies for this highly lethal ATRT subtype.
