Associated Genetic Biomarkers

Overview

NCI Definition: A rare, usually aggressive malignant embryonal neoplasm of the central nervous system occurring in children. It is characterized by the presence of neuroepithelial cells which form papillary, trabecular, or tubular structures and absence of C19MC amplification. Symptoms include headache, nausea, and vomiting. [1]

Medulloepitheliomas most frequently harbor alterations in ZFHX3, TP53, POLQ, and PMS1 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Medulloepithelioma

ZFHX3 D1234N, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Mutation, TP53 Missense, and TP53 H178P are the most common alterations in medulloepithelioma [2].
