Diagnosis of pediatric central nervous system tumors using methylation profiling of cfDNA from cerebrospinal fluid

Abstract excerpt

Pediatric central nervous system tumors remain challenging to diagnose. Imaging approaches do not provide sufficient detail to discriminate between different tumor types, while the histopathological examination of tumor tissue shows high inter-observer variability. Recent studies have demonstrated the accurate classification of central nervous system tumors based on the DNA methylation profile of a tumor biopsy....
