Overview

NCI Definition: A glioma arising from the central nervous system. This category includes diffuse astrocytoma, ependymoma, oligodendroglioma, and oligoastrocytoma. [1]

WHO grade II gliomas most frequently harbor alterations in IDH1, CIC, TP53, NOTCH1, and PIK3CA [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in WHO Grade II Glioma

IDH1 Mutation, IDH1 Codon 132 Missense, IDH1 R132H, TP53 Mutation, and TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense are the most common alterations in WHO grade II glioma [2].
