Abstract
Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia (MLN-eos) are rare haematological neoplasms primarily affecting adults. The heterogeneous clinical picture and the rarity of the disease, especially in children, may delay an early diagnosis. MLN-eos are characterized by constitutive tyrosine kinase (TK) activity due to gene fusions. It is thus of importance to obtain a prompt genetic diagnosis to start a specific therapy. Here, we outline the clinical, genetic, and biochemical background of TK driven MLN-eos and report two extremely rare paediatric cases of MLN-eo, the used diagnostic methods, therapy and clinical outcomes. Our results demonstrate that, standard cytogenetic and molecular methods may not be sufficient to diagnose MLN-eo due to cytogenetically cryptic aberrations. We therefore recommend performing additional evaluation with fluorescence in-situ hybridization and molecular genetic methods (array-based comparative genomic hybridization and RNA sequencing) which will lead to the correct diagnosis. Following this diagnostic route we detected a TNIP1::PDGFRB and a PCM1::FGFR1 fusion in our patients. Thus, genetic diagnosis must be precise and quick in order to initiate adequate therapies with tyrosine kinase inhibitors or HSCT.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Individuals with rhabdoid tumor predisposition syndrome (RTPS1 – SMARCB1, RTPS2 – SMARCA4) have a propensity to develop malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRT). Affected patients typically present < age 12 months with synchronous tumors (SYN) exhibiting an unusually aggressive clinical behavior. Due to the rarity of RTPS, standards for management are evolving. METHODS: Clinical, genetic, and treatment data of 90 patients with RTPS from 16 countries were analyzed (2004 – 2020). Therapy followed the EU-RHAB recommendations. Tumors and matching blood samples were investigated for SMARCB1 and/or SMARCA4 mutations using FISH, MLPA and sequencing. DNA-methylation subgroups were determined using DNA methylation arrays. RESULTS: The median age at diagnosis of 52 girls and 38 boys was 5.5 months (0 – 203). 55.5% (50/90) of patients presented with an atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (ATRT), 23.5% (21/90) demonstrated SYN, and 21% (19/90) extracranial MRT. RTPS1 was present in 84-, RTPS2 in six patients. In 77% (65/84) complete data on SMARCB1 mutational status were generated. Methylation subgroup status was available in 59% (40/68) of ATRT or SYN. The 5-year overall- (OS) and event free survival rates of patients with RTPS1 were 19.8 ± 4.8% and 15 ± 4.2%, respectively. Age < 1 year at diagnosis (10.1±4.3% vs. 46.7±11.1%), presence of SYN (5.3±5.1% vs. 24.8±6%), histological diagnosis (ATRT vs. eMRT/RTK/SYN) (26.8±7.1% vs. 11.9±5.6%), localized disease (34.5±8 vs. 8.3±4.6%), and presence of PGV at C-terminal (33±8.6% vs. 9.4±5.3%) were significant prognostic factors for 5-year OS in univariate analysis. INTERPRETATION: In the largest cohort of patients with RTPS, predictors significant for positive outcome could be detected: age > 1 year, absence of SYN, histological diagnosis ATRT, localized disease and PGV located at C-terminal. In our research project, we aim to characterize the complete pheno- and genotype of patients with RTPS to develop a risk score including surveillance recommendation.

Abstract
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRT) predominantly affect infants. Patients below six months represent a particularly challenging group: intensity of therapy is limited by toxicity to developing organs. Information on prognostic factors, toxicity and long term outcome is sparse. METHODS: Clinical, genetic, and treatment data of 100 patients (less than 6 months at diagnosis) from 13 European countries were analyzed (2005-2020). Tumors and matching blood samples were examined for SMARCB1 mutations using FISH, MLPA and Sanger sequencing. DNA-methylation subgroups (ATRT-TYR, ATRT-SHH, and ATRT-MYC) were determined using DNA methylation arrays. RESULTS: A total of 45 patients presented with ATRT, 29 with extracranial, extrarenal (eMRT) and 9 with renal rhabdoid tumors (RTK). Seventeen patients demonstrated synchronous tumors (SYN). Distant metastases at diagnosis (M+) were present in 27% (26/97). A germline mutation (GLM) was detected in 55% (47/86). Methylation subgroup status was available in 50% (31/62) of ATRT or SYN (SHH=13, TYR=13, MYC=4, SHH+TYR=1). The 5-year overall- (OS) and event free survival (EFS) rates were 23.5±4.6% and 19±4.1%, respectively. Male sex (11±5% vs. 35.8±7.4%), M+ (6.1±5.4% vs. 36.2±7.4%), presence of SYN (7.1±6.9% vs. 26.6±5.3%) and -GLM (7.7±4.2% vs. 45.7±8.6%) were significant prognosticators of 5-year OS, in univariate analysis. Molecular subgroup and survival analyses confirmed the previously described survival advantage of ATRT-TYR. In an adjusted multivariate model clinical factors that influence prognosis were: male sex [HR: 2.1 (1.2 – 3.6)], M+ [3.3 (1.8 – 6)], GLM [HR: 2 (1.1 – 3.6)] and maintenance therapy [HR: 0.3 (0.1 – 0.8)]. CONCLUSION: In this large cohort of homogenously treated infants with MRT, significant predictors of outcome were sex, M+, GLM and maintenance therapy. We confirm the need to stratify which patient group benefits from multimodal treatment, and which patients need novel therapeutic strategies. Biomarker-driven tailored trials may be a key option.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Extracranial rhabdoid tumours are rare, highly aggressive malignancies primarily affecting young children. The EU-RHAB registry was initiated in 2009 to prospectively collect data of rhabdoid tumour patients treated according to the EU-RHAB therapeutic framework. METHODS We evaluated 100 patients recruited within EU-RHAB (2009-2018). Tumours and matching blood samples were examined for SMARCB1 mutations by sequencing and cytogenetics. RESULTS A total of 70 patients presented with extracranial, extrarenal tumours (eMRT) and 30 with renal rhabdoid tumours (RTK). Nine patients demonstrated synchronous tumours. Distant metastases at diagnosis (M+) were present in 35% (35/100), localised disease (M0) with (LN+) and without (LN-) loco-regional lymph node involvement in 65% (65/100). SMARCB1 germline mutations (GLM) were detected in 21% (17/81 evaluable) of patients. The 5-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) rates were 45.8 ± 5.4% and 35.2 ± 5.1%, respectively. On univariate analyses, age at diagnosis (≥12 months), M0-stage, absence of synchronous tumours, absence of a GLM, gross total resection (GTR), radiotherapy and achieving a CR were significantly associated with favourable outcomes. In an adjusted multivariate model presence of a GLM, M+ and lack of a GTR were the strongest significant negative predictors of outcome. CONCLUSIONS We suggest to stratify patients with localised disease (M0), GTR+ and without proof of a GLM (5-year OS 72.2 ± 9.9%) as 'standard risk'. Patients presenting with one of the features M+ and/or GTR- and/or GLM+ belong to a high risk group (5-year, OS 32.5 ± 6.2%). These patients need novel therapeutic strategies such as combinations of targeted agents with conventional chemotherapy or novel experimental approaches ideally within international phase I/II trials.

Abstract
Ependymoma with YAP1‐MAMLD1 fusion is a rare, recently described supratentorial neoplasm of childhood, with few cases published so far. We report on 15 pediatric patients with ependymomas carrying YAP1‐MAMLD1 fusions, with their characteristic histopathology, immunophenotype and molecular/cytogenetic, radiological and clinical features. The YAP1‐MAMLD1 fusion was documented by RT‐PCR/Sanger sequencing, and tumor genomes were studied by molecular inversion probe (MIP) analysis. Significant copy number alterations were identified by GISTIC (Genomic Identification of Significant Targets in Cancer) analysis. All cases showed similar histopathological features including areas of high cellularity, presence of perivascular pseudo‐rosettes, small to medium‐sized nuclei with characteristic granular chromatin and strikingly abundant cells with dot‐like cytoplasmic expression of epithelial membrane antigen. Eleven cases presented features of anaplasia, corresponding to WHO grade III. MRI showed large supratentorial multinodular tumors with cystic components, heterogeneous contrast enhancement, located in the ventricular or periventricular region. One of two variants of YAP1‐MAMLD1 fusions was detected in all cases. The MIP genome profiles showed balanced profiles, with focal alterations of the YAP1 locus at 11q22.1–11q21.2 (7/14), MAMLD1 locus (Xp28) (10/14) and losses of chromosome arm 22q (5/14). Most patients were female (13/15) and younger than 3 years at diagnosis (12/15; median age, 8.2 months). Apart from one patient who died during surgery, all patients are alive without evidence of disease progression after receiving different treatment protocols, three without postoperative further treatment (median follow‐up, 4.84 years). In this to date, largest series of ependymomas with YAP1‐MAMLD1 fusions we show that they harbor characteristic histopathological, cytogenetic and imaging features, occur mostly in young girls under 3 years and are associated with good outcome. Therefore, this genetically defined neoplasm should be considered a distinct disease entity. The diagnosis should be confirmed by demonstration of the specific fusion. Further studies on large collaborative series are warranted to confirm our findings.

Abstract
Diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumors (DLGNT) represent rare CNS neoplasms which have been included in the 2016 update of the WHO classification. The wide spectrum of histopathological and radiological features can make this enigmatic tumor entity difficult to diagnose. In recent years, large-scale genomic and epigenomic analyses have afforded insight into key genetic alterations occurring in multiple types of brain tumors and provide unbiased, complementary tools to improve diagnostic accuracy. Through genome-wide DNA methylation screening of > 25,000 tumors, we discovered a molecularly distinct class comprising 30 tumors, mostly diagnosed histologically as DLGNTs. Copy-number profiles derived from the methylation arrays revealed unifying characteristics, including loss of chromosomal arm 1p in all cases. Furthermore, this molecular DLGNT class can be subdivided into two subgroups [DLGNT methylation class (MC)-1 and DLGNT methylation class (MC)-2], with all DLGNT-MC-2 additionally displaying a gain of chromosomal arm 1q. Co-deletion of 1p/19q, commonly seen in IDH-mutant oligodendroglioma, was frequently observed in DLGNT, especially in DLGNT-MC-1 cases. Both subgroups also had recurrent genetic alterations leading to an aberrant MAPK/ERK pathway, with KIAA1549:BRAF fusion being the most frequent event. Other alterations included fusions of NTRK1/2/3 and TRIM33:RAF1, adding up to an MAPK/ERK pathway activation identified in 80% of cases. In the DLGNT-MC-1 group, age at diagnosis was significantly lower (median 5 vs 14 years, p < 0.01) and clinical course less aggressive (5-year OS 100, vs 43% in DLGNT-MC-2). Our study proposes an additional molecular layer to the current histopathological classification of DLGNT, of particular use for cases without typical morphological or radiological characteristics, such as diffuse growth and radiologic leptomeningeal dissemination. Recurrent 1p deletion and MAPK/ERK pathway activation represent diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets, respectively-laying the foundation for future clinical trials with, e.g., MEK inhibitors that may improve the clinical outcome of patients with DLGNT.

Abstract
The authors describe a young boy with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) who relapsed 45 days after HLA and killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) mismatched unrelated donor bone marrow transplant (MMUD-BMT) and subsequently developed life-threatening graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). Treatment with 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) appeared to control severe GvHD and possibly prevented recurrence of leukemic relapse.

Abstract
A complex analysis of oncogene over-expression in ovarian cystadenocarcinomas of 20 patients was performed. Radioactively labelled cDNAs were synthesized from total cellular RNA from tumor cells and hybridized to dot blot filters. On each filter more than 20 different plasmids containing cloned oncogene fragments were immobilized. In concordance with published data fms was found over-expressed in 40% of the tumors. Elevated expression levels of the EGF receptor was also frequently detected. 35% of the tumors showed elevated N-ras mRNA levels. All those tumors' showed a highly dedifferentiated phenotype and were classified as G3-tumors. More over, simultaneous over-expression of different oncogenes correlated surprisingly strongly with tumor grading.

Abstract
From a total of 65 colorectal adenocarcinomas studied by cytogenetic methods, 33 were selected for the present study; in addition to other karyotypic anomalies, these 33 showed a loss of the short arm of chromosome 17. This loss was either the result of a deletion or rearrangement, or caused by the loss of a whole chromosome 17. The 17p- tumors were characterized by a high grade of karyotypic abnormality including a high incidence of cases with double minutes. A gain of chromosomes 2, 7, 19, and 20, and the loss of chromosome 18 and the Y-chromosome were the most frequent numerical anomalies associated with 17p-, as were structural changes of chromosomes 1 and 5. The most impressive difference in the pattern of proto-oncogene over-expression between the 17p- tumors and those without this anomaly was the significantly increased frequency of cases with c-erbB over-expression. Some significant, but also loose, associations were found between cytogenetic/oncogenetic and histopathologic or clinical features of these tumors. The patterns of genetic changes in cells of colorectal carcinomas may thus reflect the potential of the future development, rather than the present clinical features, of the respective tumor. Therefore, the character of the change seems to be more prognostic than diagnostic.

Abstract
More than 60 breast cancer specimens were screened for their expression status of 25 different proto-oncogenes. The screening method is based on in vitro synthesis of a radioactive cDNA copied from the total cellular RNA of tumor tissue. This cDNA is hybridized to cloned oncogene probes which are immobilized to a GeneScreen membrane. Frequently multiple oncogenes were found expressed although expression levels were rather moderate. 25-30% of the analyzed tumors showed significant expression of either erbB, src, raf1, lck or H-ras. Although neu expression--an oncogene believed to be particular relevant as prognostic parameter for mamma carcinoma--was screened for most of the tumors with a heterologous gene probe, expression signals could be detected in about 20% cases. The only notable correlation with classical clinical parameters such as tumor size and proliferation stage, hormone receptor status and different DNA indices was the observation that tumors lacking the progesterone receptor frequently express multiple oncogenes. Advantages and limitations of the cDNA/dot-blot screening for oncogene expression are discussed.
