<span style="color:#0070C0">(''General Instructions – The focus of these pages is the clinically significant genetic alterations in each disease type. This is based on up-to-date knowledge from multiple resources such as PubMed and the WHO classification books. The CCGA is meant to be a supplemental resource to the WHO classification books; the CCGA captures in a continually updated wiki-stye manner the current genetics/genomics knowledge of each disease, which evolves more rapidly than books can be revised and published. If the same disease is described in multiple WHO classification books, the genetics-related information for that disease will be consolidated into a single main page that has this template (other pages would only contain a link to this main page). Use [https://www.genenames.org/ <u>HUGO-approved gene names and symbols</u>] (italicized when appropriate), [https://varnomen.hgvs.org/ <u>HGVS-based nomenclature for variants</u>], as well as generic names of drugs and testing platforms or assays if applicable. Please complete tables whenever possible and do not delete them (add N/A if not applicable in the table and delete the examples); to add (or move) a row or column in a table, click nearby within the table and select the > symbol that appears. Please do not delete or alter the section headings. The use of bullet points alongside short blocks of text rather than only large paragraphs is encouraged. Additional instructions below in italicized blue text should not be included in the final page content. Please also see'' </span><u>''[[Author_Instructions]]''</u><span style="color:#0070C0"> ''and [[Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)|<u>FAQs</u>]] as well as contact your [[Leadership|<u>Associate Editor</u>]] or [mailto:CCGA@cancergenomics.org <u>Technical Support</u>].)''</span>

The t(9;22) is diagnostic of CML in the appropriate morphology and clinical context (add reference). This fusion is responsive to targeted therapy such as Imatinib (Gleevec) (add reference). BCR::ABL1 is generally favorable in CML (add reference).

|<span class="blue-text">EXAMPLE:</span> ''CIC''
|<span class="blue-text">EXAMPLE:</span> ''CIC::DUX4''
|<span class="blue-text">EXAMPLE:</span> Typically, the last exon of ''CIC'' is fused to ''DUX4''. The fusion breakpoint in ''CIC'' is usually intra-exonic and removes an inhibitory sequence, upregulating ''PEA3'' genes downstream of ''CIC'' including ''ETV1'', ''ETV4'', and ''ETV5''.

''DUX4'' has many homologous genes; an alternate translocation in a minority of cases is t(10;19), but this is usually indistinguishable from t(4;19) by short-read sequencing (add references).

==Synonyms / Terminology==


Put your text here
Other fusion partners include ''KIF5B, NPM1, STRN, TFG, TPM3, CLTC, KLC1''
|<span class="blue-text">EXAMPLE:</span> Fusions result in constitutive activation of the ''ALK'' tyrosine kinase. The most common ''ALK'' fusion is ''EML4::ALK'', with breakpoints in intron 19 of ''ALK''. At the transcript level, a variable (5’) partner gene is fused to 3’ ''ALK'' at exon 20. Rarely, ''ALK'' fusions contain exon 19 due to breakpoints in intron 18.

==Genes and Main Pathways Involved==
This disease is <u>defined/characterized</u> as detailed below:
 
*Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor, though it can also occur in adults<ref name=":11" /><ref name=":5" /><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Ostrom|first=Quinn T.|last2=Gittleman|first2=Haley|last3=Truitt|first3=Gabrielle|last4=Boscia|first4=Alexander|last5=Kruchko|first5=Carol|last6=Barnholtz-Sloan|first6=Jill S.|date=2018-10-01|title=CBTRUS Statistical Report: Primary Brain and Other Central Nervous System Tumors Diagnosed in the United States in 2011-2015|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30445539|journal=Neuro-Oncology|volume=20|issue=suppl_4|pages=iv1–iv86|doi=10.1093/neuonc/noy131|issn=1523-5866|pmc=6129949|pmid=30445539}}</ref>. Recurrent histopathologic, radiologic, and genomic findings have resulted in the establishment of four primary molecularly-defined subgroups: WNT-activated; SHH-activated and ''TP53''-wildtype; SHH-activated and ''TP53''-mutant; and non-WNT/non-SHH<ref name=":12">{{Cite journal|last=Kool|first=Marcel|last2=Korshunov|first2=Andrey|last3=Remke|first3=Marc|last4=Jones|first4=David T.

Somatic variants that cause activation of these pathways (e.g., gain-of-function variants in ''CTNNB1'' for the WNT pathway) are considered diagnostic. Of note, a subset of cases can be due to germline loss-of-function variants in the ''APC'' gene (which also result in activation of WNT signaling), which are representative of the spectrum of disorders known as Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (historically referred to as Gardner syndrome; MIM: 175100). In summary, medulloblastoma, WNT-activated, is an embryonal tumor originating in the dorsal brainstem characterized by activation of the WNT signaling pathway.

The <u>immunophenotype</u> of this disease is detailed below:


==Familial Forms==
*Majority positive for synaptophysin; INI-1 staining should be retained (positive)
*Molecular subtyping may be performed immunohistochemically using Filamin A, YAP1, GAB1 and beta-catenin<ref name=":9" /><ref name=":4" />


Put your text here
Positive (universal) - Nuclear beta-catenin, Filamin A, and YAP1


==Other Information==
Negative (universal) - GAB1
