BRAF V600E Mutations are Common in Pleomorphic Xanthoastrocytoma: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Implications
(Public Library of Science, 2011)Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) is low-grade glial neoplasm principally affecting children and young adults. Approximately 40% of PXA are reported to recur within 10 years of primary resection. Upon recurrence, patients ... -
Clinical multiplexed exome sequencing distinguishes adult oligodendroglial neoplasms from astrocytic and mixed lineage gliomas
(Impact Journals LLC, 2014)Classifying adult gliomas remains largely a histologic diagnosis based on morphology; however astrocytic, oligodendroglial and mixed lineage tumors can display overlapping histologic features. We used multiplexed exome ... -
Glioblastoma Mimicking an Arteriovenous Malformation
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2013)Abnormal cerebral vasculature can be a manifestation of a vascular malformation or a neoplastic process. We report the case of a patient with angiography-negative subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) who re-presented 3 years later ... -
Prognostic microRNAs in high-grade glioma reveal a link to oligodendrocyte precursor differentiation
(Impact Journals LLC, 2015)MicroRNA expression can be exploited to define tumor prognosis and stratification for precision medicine. It remains unclear whether prognostic microRNA signatures are exclusively tumor grade and/or molecular subtype-specific, ...
