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

Epigenomic alterations define lethal CIMP-positive ependymomas of infancy

Stephen C. Mack, +88 more
- 27 Feb 2014 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that epigenetic modifiers are the first rational therapeutic candidates for this deadly malignancy, which is epigenetically deregulated but genetically bland.
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

Molecular genetics of ependymoma

TL;DR: This review summarizes the current knowledge in the molecular genetics of ependymoma and proposes future research directions necessary to further advance this field.
