Easy-to-use machine learning system for the prediction of IDH mutation and 1p/19q codeletion using MRI images of adult-type diffuse gliomas
Adult-type diffuse gliomas are divided into Astrocytoma, IDH-mutant, Oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted and Glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype based on the IDH mutation, and 1p/19q codeletion status. T...

Reliability of IDH1-R132H and ATRX and/or p53 immunohistochemistry for molecular subclassification of Grade 2/3 gliomas
Since the World Health Organization 2016 classification (2016 WHO), genetic status has been incorporated into the diagnosis of Grade 2/3 gliomas (lower-grade gliomas). Therefore, immunohistochemistry (IHC) of ...

Malignant transformation of a dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor verified by a shared copy number gain of the tyrosine kinase domain of FGFR1
Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNTs) are regarded as benign glioneuronal neoplasms because of their excellent outcomes; however, rare DNTs show malignant transformation. We herein described a case of...

Immunohistochemical ATRX expression is not a surrogate for 1p19q codeletion
The IDH-mutant and 1p/19q co-deletion (1p19q codel) provides significant diagnostic and prognostic value in lower-grade gliomas. As ATRX mutation and 1p19q codel are mutually exclusive, ATRX immunohistochemistry ...

A novel high-sensitivity assay to detect a small fraction of mutant IDH1 using droplet digital PCR
Detection of mutations in the isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) gene is useful for accurate diagnosis of lower grade gliomas, as described in the 2016 World Health Organization classification of tumors of the cen...
