Excerpt
Diffuse high-grade gliomas (HGG) in the spinal cord are rare [
5]. It is still undetermined whether they could share genetic alterations with their supratentorial counterparts: in particular, because the spinal cord has to be considered a midline structure, a high incidence of
H3F3A K27M mutations could be hypothesized, as reported in diffuse pontine gliomas (DIPG) and in pediatric midline HGG [
1‐

6‐
8]. In this study, we investigated the
H3F3A K27M status of 30 primary spinal HGG affecting pediatric and adult patients. …
