Epigenomic Alterations

On methylation profiling of a large series of DLGNTs, two methylation classes have been defined - DLGNT methylation class (MC)-1 and DLGNT methylation class (MC)-2. All cases of DLGNT-MC-2 exhibited gain of chr1q, with 1p/19q codeletion more common in DLGNT-MC-1[16].

Genes and Main Pathways Involved

Gene; Genetic Alteration Pathway Pathophysiologic Outcome
BRAF, FGFR1; Activating mutations MAPK signaling Increased cell growth and proliferation
FGFR1, PIK3CA; Activating mutations PI3K–Akt signaling pathway Increased cell growth, proliferation, survival and motility

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

-         Fusion detection via targeted NGS (RNA or DNA panels) or FISH

-         Chromosomal alterations can be detected by FISH, SNP array, methylation array or NGS

-         Methylation profiling via CNS tumor classifiers for DLGNT-MCs

Familial Forms

One case of DLGNT in which a germline mutation in RAF1 has been documented[17].
