Medulloblastomas with pathogenic variants: A weakly penetrant syndrome with a restricted spectrum in a limited age window.

Background: pathogenic variants (PV) have been recently identified as the most frequent variants predisposing to Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) medulloblastomas (MB); however, guidelines are still lacking for genetic counseling in this new syndrome.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed clinical and genetic data of a French series of 29 -mutated MB.

Results: All patients developed SHH-MB, with a biallelic inactivation of found in 24 tumors.

Diffuse Infiltrating Retinoblastoma with Anterior Chamber Involvement: Conservative Management and Identification of Alterations in Aqueous Humor.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to describe the successful conservative management of diffuse infiltrating retinoblastoma (DIR). Identification of pathogenic variant was done after cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis in aqueous humor.

Case Presentation: Herein, we report 2 patients with unilateral, non-familial DIR with anterior and posterior involvement.

Retinoblastoma: From genes to patient care.

Retinoblastoma is the most common paediatric neoplasm of the retina, and one of the earliest model of cancer genetics since the identification of the master tumour suppressor gene RB1. Tumorigenesis has been shown to be driven by pathogenic variants of the RB1 locus, but also genomic and epigenomic alterations outside the locus. The increasing knowledge on this "mutational landscape" is used in current practice for precise genetic testing and counselling.

Pediatric spinal pilocytic astrocytomas form a distinct epigenetic subclass from pilocytic astrocytomas of other locations and diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumours.

Pediatric spinal low-grade glioma (LGG) and glioneuronal tumours are rare, accounting for less 2.8-5.2% of pediatric LGG.
