Abstract excerpt
A third of patients with the pediatric cerebellar tumor Medulloblastoma (MB) have mutations that activate Sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling (SHH-MB subgroup). The contribution of secondary mutations to tumor severity, however, is not clear. PTEN mutations are enriched in the SHH-1 subtype that has the lowest survival rate. Widespread heterozygous loss of Pten in two SHH-MB mouse models increases penetrance and...
