Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Functional, Predictive

Justification: Oncogenic: The K27M mutation in histone 3 and the H1047R mutation in PIK3CA are described as oncogenic alterations associated with high-grade gliomas, indicating their role in tumorigenesis. Functional: The H1047R mutation in PIK3CA affects the catalytic domain and is linked to pathways involved in angiogenesis, suggesting a functional impact on tumor growth and survival. Predictive: The presence of specific mutations, such as K27M and H1047R, may guide the development of targeted therapies, indicating their predictive value for treatment strategies in DIPG.

[Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC4823825 Section: RESULTS PassageIndex: 12

Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Functional

Justification: Oncogenic: The passage indicates that the PIK3CA H1047R mutation contributes to tumor development and progression, as it is associated with high-grade astrocytoma (WHO IV) and is linked to localized survival and growth advantages in tumor areas where it is acquired. Functional: The H1047R mutation affects the catalytic domain of PIK3CA, suggesting that it alters the molecular function of the protein, which is further supported by the mention of its role in PI3K activation and associated pathways.
