Abstract:Gliosarcoma is rare among pediatric patients and among individuals with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1). Here we compare 2 pediatric gliosarcoma patients, one of whom has NF1.

Whole-exome sequencing showed higher mutational burden in the tumor of the patient without NF1. Copy number analysis showed differences in chromosomal losses/gains between the tumors. Neither tumor showed O6-methylguanine-DNA m… Show more
