Driver mutations in histone H3.3 and chromatin remodelling genes in paediatric glioblastoma

Jeremy Schwartzentruber, +66 more
- 09 Feb 2012 - 
TL;DR: The presence of H3F3A/ATRX-DAXX/TP53 mutations was strongly associated with alternative lengthening of telomeres and specific gene expression profiles, suggesting that defects of the chromatin architecture underlie paediatric and young adult GBM pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hotspot mutations in H3F3A and IDH1 define distinct epigenetic and biological subgroups of glioblastoma.

Dominik Sturm, +82 more
- 16 Oct 2012 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that each H3F3A mutation defines an epigenetic subgroup of GBM with a distinct global methylation pattern, and that they are mutually exclusive with IDH1 mutations, which characterize a third mutation-defined subgroup.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of Aspergillus DNA by a nested PCR assay is able to improve the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis in paediatric patients

TL;DR: The authors' nested PCR assay was able to detect Aspergillus DNA in blood, cerebrospinal fluid and bronchoalveolar lavage samples from paediatric and adolescent patients with IA with high sensitivity and specificity rates.
