Overview

NCI Definition: A glioma that has diffusely infiltrated the surrounding central nervous system tissues. [1]

Diffuse gliomas most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, PTEN, CDKN2A, IDH1, and EGFR [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Diffuse Glioma

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