Multiplatform molecular analyses refine classification of gliomas arising in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1

Evidence Type(s): Predisposing, Oncogenic, Prognostic
Justification: Predisposing: The text describes gliomas arising in patients with a heterozygous germline mutation in NF1, indicating a genetic predisposition to tumor development. Oncogenic: The presence of somatic mutations and inactivation of the wild-type NF1 allele, along with the mention of specific mutations like p.R1276* and c.4110 + 2 T > G, supports the role of these variants in tumorigenesis. Prognostic: Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicates that patients with NF1-associated gliomas have inferior outcomes, suggesting that the genetic alterations may have prognostic implications for patient survival.
