Overview

NCI Definition: An aggressive malignant embryonal neoplasm arising from the central nervous system. It is composed of cells with a large eccentric nucleus, prominent nucleolus, and abundant cytoplasm. Mutations of the INI1 gene or very rarely SMARCA4 (BRG1) gene are present. The vast majority of cases occur in childhood. Symptoms include lethargy, vomiting, cranial nerve palsy, headache, and hemiplegia. [1]

Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors most frequently harbor alterations in SMARCB1, SYNE1, ZNF217, WHSC1L1, and WHSC1 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumor

SMARCB1 Loss, SMARCB1fs, SMARCB1 Mutation, ZNF217 T198M, and WHSC1L1 D994Y are the most common alterations in atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor [2].
