The gene encodes the mitochondrial protein aconitate hydratase, which is responsible for catalyzing the interconversion of citrate into isocitrate in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Mitochondrial aconitase is expressed ubiquitously, and deficiencies in TCA-cycle enzymes have been reported to cause various neurodegenerative diseases due to disruption of cellular energy metabolism and development of oxidative stress. We investigated a severe early infantile-onset neurometabolic syndrome due to a homozygous novel variant in exon 13 of the gene.

The 2021 World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System, Fifth Edition (WHO-CNS5), has strengthened the concept of tumor grade as a combination of histologic features and molecular alterations. The WHO-CNS5 tumor type "Diffuse midline glioma, H3K27-altered," classified within the family of "Pediatric-type diffuse high-grade gliomas," incarnates an ideally perfect integrated diagnosis in which location, histology, and genetics clearly define a specific tumor entity. It tries to evenly characterize a group of neoplasms that occur primarily in children and midline structures and that have a dismal prognosis.
