Somatic Histone H3 Alterations in Paediatric Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas and Non-Brainstem Glioblastomas
[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC3288377
Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Predictive
Justification: Oncogenic: The text indicates that the p.K27M mutation is present in a significant percentage of DIPGs, suggesting its role in tumorigenesis. Additionally, the presence of p.G34R mutations in non-BS-PGs further supports their potential oncogenic nature. Predictive: The identification of specific mutations such as p.K27M and p.G34R in DIPGs and non-BS-PGs may help predict the behavior of these tumors and their response to targeted therapies.
