Excerpt

Diffuse midline gliomas (DMG) H3 K27M-mutant was introduced in the 2016 WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System, unifying diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG) and gliomas from the thalamus and spinal cord harboring a histone H3-K27M mutation leading to Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2) inhibition [7]. These gliomas are relatively much more common in the pediatric than the adult population, and patients show a dismal prognosis with a median overall survival below 1 year [11]. …
