Glioneuronal tumor with neuropil-like islands (GTNI) is a rare, recently described neoplasm, whose pathogenesis has not been studied extensively. The role of ATRX mutations, a class-defining alteration in diffuse astrocytic neoplasms, has not been assessed in GTNIs previously. We therefore aimed to assess the status of ATRX, along with IDH1, 1p/19q and p53, in cases of GTNI in order to evaluate the molecular...
