Overview

NCI Definition: An oligoastrocytoma characterized by the presence of increased cellularity, nuclear atypia, pleomorphism, and high mitotic activity. [1]

Anaplastic oligoastrocytomas most frequently harbor alterations in IDH1, TP53, ATRX, TERT, and SOX2 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Anaplastic Oligoastrocytoma

IDH1 Mutation, IDH1 Codon 132 Missense, IDH1 R132H, TP53 Mutation, and TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense are the most common alterations in anaplastic oligoastrocytoma [2].
