Excerpt

Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) constitute a frequent somatic driver event in adult low-grade (LGG) and high-grade gliomas (HGG) [1, 3]. In children, IDH1 mutations are rare and restricted to adolescents with a largely indeterminate incidence and prognosis. Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is defined as a genetic condition harbouring germline TP53 mutations, predisposing to multiple early onset cancers including brain tumours [6]. However, our understanding of the genomic landscape of pediatric LFS-associated gliomas is limited by a lack of comprehensive molecular characterization of this group in children [7]. Here, we report IDH1 R132H and rare non-R132H IDH1 mutations in a cohort of pediatric hemispheric glioma patients who frequently harbour germline TP53 pathogenic mutations. …
