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].
