Abstract excerpt
Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNTs) are low-grade glioneuronal tumors with FGFR1 alterations. They show significant histologic and molecular overlap with other glioneuronal tumors, complicating diagnosis. We analyzed 44 tumors that were either classified as DNT by DNA methylation (n = 37), or were diagnosed histologically as DNT but did not classify as DNT by DNA methylation (n = 7). 13/37 (35%)...
