Abstract
Precision in the diagnosis of diverse central nervous system (CNS) tumor types is crucial for optimal treatment. DNA methylation profiles, which capture the methylation status of thousands of individual CpG sites, are state-of-the-art data-driven means to enhance diagnostic accuracy but are also time consuming and not widely available. Here, to address these limitations, we developed Deep lEarning from histoPathoLOgy and methYlation (DEPLOY), a deep learning model that classifies CNS tumors to ten major categories from histopathology. DEPLOY integrates three distinct components: the first classifies CNS tumors directly from slide images ('direct model'), the second initially generates predictions for DNA methylation beta values, which are subsequently used for tumor classification ('indirect model'), and the third classifies tumor types directly from routinely available patient demographics. First, we find that DEPLOY accurately predicts beta values from histopathology images. Second, using a ten-class model trained on an internal dataset of 1,796 patients, we predict the tumor categories in three independent external test datasets including 2,156 patients, achieving an overall accuracy of 95% and balanced accuracy of 91% on samples that are predicted with high confidence. These results showcase the potential future use of DEPLOY to assist pathologists in diagnosing CNS tumors within a clinically relevant short time frame.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although fewer than 5% of high-grade gliomas (HGG) are BRAF-V600E mutated, these tumors are notable as BRAF-targeted therapy shows efficacy for some populations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate response to the combination of encorafenib with binimetinib in adults with recurrent BRAF-V600-mutated HGG. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this phase 2, open-label, Adult Brain Tumor Consortium (ABTC) trial (NCT03973918), encorafenib and binimetinib were administered at their FDA-approved doses continuously in 28-day cycles. Eligible patients were required to have HGG or glioblastoma with a BRAF-V600E alteration that was recurrent following at least one line of therapy, including radiotherapy. RESULTS Five patients enrolled between January 2020 and administrative termination in November 2021 (due to closure of the ABTC). Enrolled patients received treatment for 2 to 40 months; currently one patient remains on treatment. Centrally determined radiographic response rate was 60%, with one complete response and two partial responses. Methylation profiling revealed that all tumors cluster most closely with anaplastic pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA). Transcriptional profile for MAPK-response signature was similar across all tumors at baseline and did not correlate with response in this small population. Circulating tumor DNA measured in plasma samples before treatment, during response, and upon progression showed feasibility of detection for the BRAF-V600E alteration. No new safety signal was detected. CONCLUSIONS Encorafenib and binimetinib exhibit positive tumor responses in patients with recurrent BRAF-V600E mutant HGG in this small series, warranting therapeutic consideration. Although toxicity remains a concern for BRAF-targeted therapies, no new safety signal was observed in these patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chordoma is a rare slow-growing tumor that occurs along the length of the spinal axis and arises from primitive notochordal remnants (Stepanek et al., Am J Med Genet 75:335-336, 1998). Most chordomas are sporadic, but a small percentage of cases are due to hereditary cancer syndromes (HCS) such as tuberous sclerosis 1 and 2 (TSC1/2), or constitutional variants in the gene encoding brachyury T (TBXT) (Pillay et al., Nat Genet 44:1185-1187, 2012; Yang et al., Nat Genet 41:1176-1178, 2009). PURPOSE The genetic susceptibility of these tumors is not well understood; there are only a small number of studies that have performed germline genetic testing in this population. METHODS We performed germline genetic in chordoma patients using genomic DNA extracted by blood or saliva. CONCLUSION We report here a chordoma cohort of 24 families with newly found germline genetic mutations in cancer predisposing genes. We discuss implications for genetic counseling, clinical management, and universal germline genetic testing for cancer patients with solid tumors.

Abstract
Ganglioglioma (GG) with anaplasia (anaplastic ganglioglioma) is a rare and controversial diagnosis. When present, anaplasia involves the glial component of the tumor, either at presentation or at recurrence. To date, most published cases lack molecular characterization. We describe the histologic and molecular features of 3 patients presenting with BRAF p. V600E-mutant GG (CNS WHO grade 1) with high-grade glial transformation at recurrence. The tumors occurred in pediatric patients (age 9-16 years) with time to recurrence from 20 months to 7 years. At presentation, each tumor was low-grade, with a BRAFV600E-positive ganglion cell component and a glial component resembling pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) or fibrillary astrocytoma. At recurrence, tumors resembled anaplastic PXA or high-grade astrocytomas without neuronal differentiation. CDKN2A homozygous deletion (HD) was absent in all primary tumors. At recurrence, 2 cases acquired CDKN2A HD; the third case showed loss of p16 and MTAP immunoexpression, but no CDKN2A/B HD or mutation was identified. By DNA methylation profiling, all primary and recurrent tumors either grouped or definitely matched to different methylation classes. Our findings indicate that malignant progression of the glial component can occur in GG and suggest that CDKN2A/B inactivation plays a significant role in this process.

Abstract
In the evolving landscape of ependymoma classification, which integrates histological, molecular, and anatomical context, we detail a rare case divergent from the usual histopathological spectrum. We present the case of a 37-year-old man with symptomatic spinal cord compression at the L3-L4 level. Neuroradiological evaluation revealed an intradural, encapsulated mass. Histologically, the tumor displayed atypical features: bizarre pleomorphic giant cells, intranuclear inclusions, mitotic activity, and a profusion of eosinophilic cytoplasm with hyalinized vessels, deviating from the characteristic perivascular pseudorosettes or myxopapillary patterns. Immunohistochemical staining bolstered this divergence, marking the tumor cells positive for glial fibrillary acidic protein and epithelial membrane antigen with a characteristic ring-like pattern, and CD99 but negative for Olig-2. These markers, alongside methylation profiling, facilitated its classification as a myxopapillary ependymoma (MPE), despite the atypical histologic features. This profile underscores the necessity of a multifaceted diagnostic process, especially when histological presentation is uncommon, confirming the critical role of immunohistochemistry and molecular diagnostics in classifying morphologically ambiguous ependymomas and exemplifying the histological diversity within MPEs.

Abstract
PURPOSE Central nervous system (CNS) embryonal tumors are a diverse group of malignant tumors typically affecting pediatric patients that recently have been better defined, and this paper describes evolution of a unique type of embryonal tumor at relapse. METHODS Two pediatric patients with CNS embryonal tumors with EWSR1-PLAGL1 rearrangements treated at Arkansas Children's Hospital with histopathologic and molecular data are described. RESULTS These two patients at diagnosis were classified as CNS embryonal tumors with EWSR1-PLAGL1 rearrangements based on histologic appearance and molecular data. At relapse both patient's disease was reclassified as atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) based on loss of INI-1, presence of SMARCB1 alterations, and methylation profiling results. CONCLUSION CNS embryonal tumors with EWSR1-PLAGL1 rearrangements acquire or include a population of cells with SMARCB1 alterations that are the component that predominate at relapse, suggesting treatment aimed at this disease component at diagnosis should be considered.

Abstract
Diffuse midline glioma, H3 K27-altered (DMG-H3 K27) is an aggressive group of diffuse gliomas that predominantly occurs in pediatric patients, involves midline structures, and displays loss of H3 p.K28me3 (K27me3) expression by immunohistochemistry and characteristic genetic/epigenetic profile. Rare examples of a diffuse glioma with an H3 p.K28M (K27M) mutation and without involvement of the midline structures, so-called "diffuse hemispheric glioma with H3 p.K28M (K27M) mutation" (DHG-H3 K27), have been reported. Herein, we describe 2 additional cases of radiologically confirmed DHG-H3 K27 and summarize previously reported cases. We performed histological, immunohistochemical, molecular, and DNA methylation analysis and provided clinical follow-up in both cases. Overall, DHG-H3 K27 is an unusual group of diffuse gliomas that shows similar clinical, histopathological, genomic, and epigenetic features to DMG-H3 K27 as well as enrichment for activating alterations in MAPK pathway genes. These findings suggest that DHG-H3 K27 is closely related to DMG-H3 K27 and may represent an unusual presentation of DMG-H3 K27 without apparent midline involvement and with frequent MAPK pathway activation. Detailed reports of additional cases with clinical follow-up will be important to expand our understanding of this unusual group of diffuse gliomas and to better define the clinical outcome and how to classify DHG-H3 K27.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is universally fatal and characterized by frequent chromosomal copy number alterations harboring oncogenes and tumor suppressors. In this study, we analyzed exome-wide human glioblastoma copy number data and found that cytoband 6q27 is an independent poor prognostic marker in multiple data sets. We then combined CRISPR-Cas9 data, human spatial transcriptomic data, and human and mouse RNA sequencing data to nominate PDE10A as a potential haploinsufficient tumor suppressor in the 6q27 region. Mouse glioblastoma modeling using the RCAS/tv-a system confirmed that Pde10a suppression induced an aggressive glioma phenotype in vivo and resistance to temozolomide and radiation therapy in vitro. Cell culture analysis showed that decreased Pde10a expression led to increased PI3K/AKT signaling in a Pten-independent manner, a response blocked by selective PI3K inhibitors. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing from our mouse gliomas in vivo, in combination with cell culture validation, further showed that Pde10a suppression was associated with a proneural-to-mesenchymal transition that exhibited increased cell adhesion and decreased cell migration. Our results indicate that glioblastoma patients harboring PDE10A loss have worse outcomes and potentially increased sensitivity to PI3K inhibition.

Abstract
Mutations in the pivotal metabolic isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) enzymes are recognized to drive the molecular footprint of diffuse gliomas, and patients with IDH mutant gliomas have overall favorable outcomes compared to patients with IDH wild-type tumors. However, survival still varies widely among patients with IDH mutated tumors. Here, we aimed to characterize molecular signatures that explain the range of IDH mutant gliomas. By integrating matched epigenome-wide methylome, transcriptome, and global metabolome data in 154 patients with gliomas, we identified a group of IDH mutant gliomas with globally altered metabolism that resembled IDH wild-type tumors. IDH-mutant gliomas with altered metabolism have significantly shorter overall survival from their IDH mutant counterparts that is not fully accounted for by recognized molecular prognostic markers of CDKN2A/B loss and glioma CpG Island Methylator Phenotype (GCIMP) status. IDH-mutant tumors with dysregulated metabolism harbored distinct epigenetic alterations that converged to drive proliferative and stem-like transcriptional profiles, providing a window to target novel dependencies in gliomas.

Abstract
PURPOSE Multidisciplinary tumor boards (MTBs) integrate clinical, molecular, and radiological information and facilitate coordination of neuro-oncology care. During the COVID-19 pandemic, our MTB transitioned to a virtual and multi-institutional format. We hypothesized that this expansion would allow expert review of challenging neuro-oncology cases and contribute to the care of patients with limited access to specialized centers. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed records from virtual MTBs held between 04/2020-03/2021. Data collected included measures of potential clinical impact, including referrals to observational or therapeutic studies, referrals for specialized neuropathology analysis, and whether molecular findings led to a change in diagnosis and/or guided management suggestions. RESULTS During 25 meetings, 32 presenters discussed 44 cases. Approximately half (n = 20; 48%) involved a rare central nervous system (CNS) tumor. In 21% (n = 9) the diagnosis was changed or refined based on molecular profiling obtained at the NIH and in 36% (n = 15) molecular findings guided management. Clinical trial suggestions were offered to 31% (n = 13), enrollment in the observational NCI Natural History Study to 21% (n = 9), neuropathology review and molecular testing at the NIH to 17% (n = 7), and all received management suggestions. CONCLUSION Virtual multi-institutional MTBs enable remote expert review of CNS tumors. We propose them as a strategy to facilitate expert opinions from specialized centers, especially for rare CNS tumors, helping mitigate geographic barriers to patient care and serving as a pre-screening tool for studies. Advanced molecular testing is key to obtaining a precise diagnosis, discovering potentially actionable targets, and guiding management.

Abstract
Central nervous system (CNS) embryonal tumors are a heterogeneous group of high-grade malignancies, and the increasing clinical use of methylation profiling and next-generation sequencing has led to the identification of molecularly distinct subtypes. One proposed tumor type, CNS tumor with BRD4::LEUTX fusion, has been described. As only a few CNS tumors with BRD4::LEUTX fusions have been described, we herein characterize a cohort of 9 such cases (4 new, 5 previously published) to further describe their clinicopathologic and molecular features. We demonstrate that CNS embryonal tumor with BRD4::LEUTX fusion comprises a well-defined methylation class/cluster. We find that patients are young (4 years or younger), with large tumors at variable locations, and frequently with evidence of leptomeningeal/cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dissemination. Histologically, tumors were highly cellular with high-grade embryonal features. Immunohistochemically, 5/5 cases showed synaptophysin and 4/5 showed OLIG2 expression, thus overlapping with CNS neuroblastoma, FOXR2-activated. DNA copy number profiles were generally flat; however, two tumors had chromosome 1q gains. No recurring genomic changes, besides the presence of the fusion, were found. The LEUTX portion of the fusion transcript was constant in all cases assessed, while the BRD4 portion varied but included a domain with proto-oncogenic activity in all cases. Two patients with clinical follow up available had tumors with excellent response to chemotherapy. Two of our patients were alive without evidence of recurrence or progression after gross total resection and chemotherapy at 16 and 33 months. One patient relapsed, and the last of our four patients died of disease one month after diagnosis. Overall, this case series provides additional evidence for this as a distinct tumor type defined by the presence of a specific fusion as well as a distinct DNA methylation signature. Studies on larger series are required to further characterize these tumors.

Abstract
Tumor adaptation or selection is thought to underlie therapy resistance in glioma. To investigate longitudinal epigenetic evolution of gliomas in response to therapeutic pressure, we performed an epigenomic analysis of 132 matched initial and recurrent tumors from patients with IDH-wildtype (IDHwt) and IDH-mutant (IDHmut) glioma. IDHwt gliomas showed a stable epigenome over time with relatively low levels of global methylation. The epigenome of IDHmut gliomas showed initial high levels of genome-wide DNA methylation that was progressively reduced to levels similar to those of IDHwt tumors. Integration of epigenomics, gene expression, and functional genomics identified HOXD13 as a master regulator of IDHmut astrocytoma evolution. Furthermore, relapse of IDHmut tumors was accompanied by histologic progression that was associated with survival, as validated in an independent cohort. Finally, the initial cell composition of the tumor microenvironment varied between IDHwt and IDHmut tumors and changed differentially following treatment, suggesting increased neoangiogenesis and T-cell infiltration upon treatment of IDHmut gliomas. This study provides one of the largest cohorts of paired longitudinal glioma samples with epigenomic, transcriptomic, and genomic profiling and suggests that treatment of IDHmut glioma is associated with epigenomic evolution toward an IDHwt-like phenotype. SIGNIFICANCE Standard treatments are related to loss of DNA methylation in IDHmut glioma, resulting in epigenetic activation of genes associated with tumor progression and alterations in the microenvironment that resemble treatment-naïve IDHwt glioma.

Abstract
DNA methylation is an essential molecular assay for central nervous system (CNS) tumor diagnostics. While some fusions define specific brain tumors, others occur across many different diagnoses. We performed a retrospective analysis of 219 primary CNS tumors with whole genome DNA methylation and RNA next-generation sequencing. DNA methylation profiling results were compared with RNAseq detected gene fusions. We detected 105 rare fusions involving 31 driver genes, including 23 fusions previously not implicated in brain tumors. In addition, we identified 6 multi-fusion tumors. Rare fusions and multi-fusion events can impact the diagnostic accuracy of DNA methylation by decreasing confidence in the result, such as BRAF, RAF, or FGFR1 fusions, or result in a complete mismatch, such as NTRK, EWSR1, FGFR, and ALK fusions. IMPLICATIONS DNA methylation signatures need to be interpreted in the context of pathology and discordant results warrant testing for novel and rare gene fusions.

Abstract
Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive primary brain malignancy with <45% living a year beyond diagnosis. Previously published investigations of long-term survivors (LTS) provided clinical data but rarely incorporated a comprehensive clinical and molecular analysis. Herein, we identify clinical, imaging, molecular, and outcome features for 23 GBM-LTS patients and compare them with a matched cohort of short-term survivors (STS). Methods Molecularly confirmed Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (IDH) wildtype GBM patients living ≥3 years post-diagnosis (NLTS = 23) or <3 years (NSTS = 75) were identified from our Natural History study. Clinical and demographic characteristics were compared. Tumor tissue was analyzed with targeted next generation sequencing (NGS) (NLTS = 23; NSTS = 74) and methylation analysis (NLTS = 18; NSTS = 28). Pre-surgical MRI scans for a subset of LTS (N = 14) and STS control (N = 28) matched on sex, age, and extent of resection were analyzed. Results LTS tended to be younger. Diagnostic MRIs showed more LTS with T1 tumor hypointensity. LTS tumors were enriched for MGMTp methylation and tumor protein 53 (TP53) mutation. Three patients with classic GBM histology were reclassified based on NGS and methylation testing. Additionally, there were LTS with typical poor prognostic molecular markers. Conclusions Our findings emphasize that generalized predictions of prognosis are inaccurate for individual patients and underscore the need for complete clinical evaluation including molecular work-up to confirm the diagnosis. Continued accrual of patients to LTS registries that containcomprehensive clinical, imaging, tumor molecular data, and outcomes measures may pro\vide important insights about individual patient prognosis.

Abstract
Immature neuroectodermal tissue can be found in the ovary as part of an immature teratoma or as part of a teratoma with malignant neuroectodermal transformation. Such lesions may closely resemble central nervous system tumors, but their biologic similarity is unclear. We describe an 18-yr-old female who presented with abdominal pain caused by an ovarian mass with widespread metastases. Histology showed a primitive, high-grade tumor arising in the background of a mature teratoma. The tumor was SOX10 positive, with focal expression of GFAP, S100, NSE, and synaptophysin. Molecular analysis demonstrated co-amplification of PDGFRA and KIT , alterations common in high-grade gliomas. By whole-genome methylation profiling, it clustered into the "diffuse pediatric-type high-grade glioma, RTK1 subtype, subclass c" group. Despite progressing through 2 lines of chemotherapy with widespread metastatic disease, she achieved an excellent response to chemotherapy directed toward aggressive germ cell tumors. This case emphasizes the importance of immunohistochemical, genomic, and epigenetic analyses to accurately classify these exceedingly rare tumors and determine the optimal therapy.

Abstract
Understanding of tumor biology and identification of effective therapies is lacking for many rare tumors. My Pediatric and Adult Rare Tumor (MyPART) network was established to engage patients, advocates, and researchers and conduct a comprehensive longitudinal Natural History Study of Rare Solid Tumors. Through remote or in-person enrollment at the NIH Clinical Center, participants with rare solid tumors ≥4 weeks old complete standardized medical and family history forms, patient reported outcomes, and provide tumor, blood and/or saliva samples. Medical records are extracted for clinical status and treatment history, and tumors undergo genomic analysis. A total of 200 participants (65% female, 35% male, median age at diagnosis 43 years, range = 2-77) enrolled from 46 U.S. states and nine other countries (46% remote, 55% in-person). Frequent diagnoses were neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN), adrenocortical carcinomas (ACC), medullary thyroid carcinomas (MTC), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)-deficient gastrointestinal stromal tumors (sdGIST), and chordomas. At enrollment, median years since diagnosis was 3.5 (range = 0-36.6), 63% participants had metastatic disease and 20% had no evidence of disease. Pathogenic germline and tumor mutations included SDHA/B/C (sdGIST), RET (MTC), TP53 and CTNNB1 (ACC), MEN1 (NEN), and SMARCB1 (poorly-differentiated chordoma). Clinically significant anxiety was observed in 20%-35% of adults. Enrollment of participants and comprehensive data collection were feasible. Remote enrollment was critical during the COVID-19 pandemic. Over 30 patients were enrolled with ACC, NEN, and sdGIST, allowing for clinical/genomic analyses across tumors. Longitudinal follow-up and expansion of cohorts are ongoing to advance understanding of disease course and establish external controls for interventional trials. SIGNIFICANCE This study demonstrates that comprehensive, tumor-agnostic data and biospecimen collection is feasible to characterize different rare tumors, and speed progress in research. The findings will be foundational to developing external controls groups for single-arm interventional trials, where randomized control trials cannot be conducted because of small patient populations.

Abstract
Pseudoendocrine sarcoma (PES) is a recently described neoplasm typically arising in paravertebral soft tissues. Histologically, PES resembles well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors but lacks expression of epithelial/neuroendocrine markers, and most show aberrant nuclear β-catenin positivity. We describe the clinicopathological and molecular features and DNA methylation profile of one PES. A resected paraspinal soft tissue mass in a 52-year-old man showed a neuroendocrine-like neoplasm, negative for keratin, and synaptophysin and showing diffuse nuclear β-catenin expression. Targeted NGS confirmed a CTNNB1 (p.S37C) mutation. Whole genome methylation analysis showed no match to any methylation class in the central nervous system tumor (versions 11b6 and 12b6) or sarcoma classifier (calibrated scores of ≤0.3), but clustered together with a recently reported PES in which methylation analysis was also performed. He remained disease-free for 18 months after surgery, followed by chemoradiation. As more cases are examined, our findings suggest that PES may have a unique methylation profiling signature.

Abstract
Advances in artificial intelligence have paved the way for leveraging hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained tumor slides for precision oncology. We present ENLIGHT-DeepPT, an approach for predicting response to multiple targeted and immunotherapies from H&E-slides. In difference from existing approaches that aim to predict treatment response directly from the slides, ENLIGHT-DeepPT is an indirect two-step approach consisting of (1) DeepPT, a new deep-learning framework that predicts genome-wide tumor mRNA expression from slides, and (2) ENLIGHT, which predicts response based on the DeepPT inferred expression values. DeepPT successfully predicts transcriptomics in all 16 TCGA cohorts tested and generalizes well to two independent datasets. Our key contribution is showing that ENLIGHT-DeepPT successfully predicts true responders in five independent patients' cohorts involving four different treatments spanning six cancer types with an overall odds ratio of 2.44, increasing the baseline response rate by 43.47% among predicted responders, without the need for any treatment data for training. Furthermore, its prediction accuracy on these datasets is comparable to a supervised approach predicting the response directly from the images, which needs to be trained and tested on the same cohort. ENLIGHT-DeepPT future application could provide clinicians with rapid treatment recommendations to an array of different therapies and importantly, may contribute to advancing precision oncology in developing countries.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to develop a methylation-based droplet digital PCR to separate 2 cancer classes that do not have sensitive and specific immunohistochemical stains: gastric/esophageal and pancreatic adenocarcinomas. The assay used methylation-independent primers and methylation-dependent probes to assess a single differentially methylated CpG site; analyses of array data from The Cancer Genome Atlas network showed that high methylation at the cg06118999 probe supports the presence of cells originating from the stomach or esophagus (eg, as in gastric metastasis), whereas low methylation suggests that these cells are rare to absent (eg, pancreatic metastasis). On validation using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded primary and metastatic samples from our institution, methylation-based droplet digital PCR targeting the corresponding CpG dinucleotide generated evaluable data for 60 of the 62 samples (97%) and correctly classified 50 of the 60 evaluable cases (83.3%), mostly adenocarcinomas from the stomach or pancreas. This ddPCR was created to be easy-to-interpret, rapid, inexpensive, and compatible with existing platforms at many clinical laboratories. We suggest that similarly accessible PCRs could be developed for other differentials in pathology that do not have sensitive and specific immunohistochemical stains.

Abstract
Rare tumors across the world are lacking adequate knowledge, resources, and community. Through partnership with patients, advocacy organizations, researchers, and clinicians, we have developed a comprehensive, longitudinal, prospective, and retrospective natural history protocol to collect, analyze, and share data on patients with rare tumors. A strong collaborative effort is vital to ensure success of enrollment, patient engagement, data collection, and analysis to ultimately develop clinical trials to improve outcomes for patients with rare cancers.

Abstract
Immune-mediated anti-tumoral responses, elicited by oncolytic viruses and augmented with checkpoint inhibition, may be an effective treatment approach for glioblastoma. Here in this multicenter phase 1/2 study we evaluated the combination of intratumoral delivery of oncolytic virus DNX-2401 followed by intravenous anti-PD-1 antibody pembrolizumab in recurrent glioblastoma, first in a dose-escalation and then in a dose-expansion phase, in 49 patients. The primary endpoints were overall safety and objective response rate. The primary safety endpoint was met, whereas the primary efficacy endpoint was not met. There were no dose-limiting toxicities, and full dose combined treatment was well tolerated. The objective response rate was 10.4% (90% confidence interval (CI) 4.2-20.7%), which was not statistically greater than the prespecified control rate of 5%. The secondary endpoint of overall survival at 12 months was 52.7% (95% CI 40.1-69.2%), which was statistically greater than the prespecified control rate of 20%. Median overall survival was 12.5 months (10.7-13.5 months). Objective responses led to longer survival (hazard ratio 0.20, 95% CI 0.05-0.87). A total of 56.2% (95% CI 41.1-70.5%) of patients had a clinical benefit defined as stable disease or better. Three patients completed treatment with durable responses and remain alive at 45, 48 and 60 months. Exploratory mutational, gene-expression and immunophenotypic analyses revealed that the balance between immune cell infiltration and expression of checkpoint inhibitors may potentially inform on response to treatment and mechanisms of resistance. Overall, the combination of intratumoral DNX-2401 followed by pembrolizumab was safe with notable survival benefit in select patients (ClinicalTrials.gov registration: NCT02798406).

Abstract
Homozygous deletion of CDKN2A/B was recently incorporated into the World Health Organization classification for grade 3 meningiomas. While this marker is overall rare in meningiomas, its relationship to other CDKN2A alterations on a transcriptomic, epigenomic, and copy number level has not yet been determined. We therefore utilized multidimensional molecular data of 1577 meningioma samples from 6 independent cohorts enriched for clinically aggressive meningiomas to comprehensively interrogate the spectrum of CDKN2A alterations through DNA methylation, copy number variation, transcriptomics, and proteomics using an integrated molecular approach. Homozygous CDKN2A/B deletions were identified in only 7.1% of cases but were associated with significantly poorer outcomes compared to tumors without these deletions. Heterozygous CDKN2A/B deletions were identified in 2.6% of cases and had similarly poor outcomes as those with homozygous deletions. Among tumors with intact CDKN2A/B (without a homozygous or heterozygous deletion), we found a distinct difference in outcome based on mRNA expression of CDKN2A, with meningiomas that had elevated mRNA expression (CDKN2Ahigh) having a significantly shorter time to recurrence. The expression of CDKN2A was independently prognostic after accounting for copy number loss and consistently increased with WHO grade and more aggressive molecular and methylation groups irrespective of cohort. Despite the discordant and mutually exclusive status of the CDKN2A gene in these groups, both CDKN2Ahigh meningiomas and meningiomas with CDKN2A deletions were enriched for similar cell cycle pathways but at different checkpoints. High mRNA expression of CDKN2A was also associated with gene hypermethylation, Rb-deficiency, and lack of response to CDK inhibition. p16 immunohistochemistry could not reliably differentiate between meningiomas with and without CDKN2A deletions but appeared to correlate better with mRNA expression. These findings support the role of CDKN2A mRNA expression as a biomarker of clinically aggressive meningiomas with potential therapeutic implications.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Advances in artificial intelligence have paved the way for predicting cancer patients’ survival and response to treatment from hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained tumor slides. Extant approaches do so either via prediction of actionable mutations and gene fusions, or directly from the H&E images by training a task-specific model using large treatment outcome data.
Methods: Here we present the first approach for predicting patient response to multiple targeted treatments and immunotherapies directly from H&E slides. It is founded on two conceptual steps: (1) First, we developed DeepPT, a deep-learning framework that trains on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) TCGA whole slide images and their corresponding gene expression profiles to predict wide-scale tumor gene expression from the slides. (2) Second, we apply ENLIGHT, a published approach that predicts individual responses to a wide range of targeted and immunotherapies based on the tumor biopsy measured transcriptomics. Here we apply ENLIGHT to predict patient treatment response from the DeepPT predicted expression values instead of those measured directly from the tumor, notably, without any further training or adaptation of ENLIGHT.
Results: First, we find that DeepPT generalizes well to predicting gene expression in all 13 TCGA cohorts tested in cross-validation and importantly, in two independent unseen breast and brain cancer datasets. DeepPT outperforms HE2RNA, a state-of-the-art algorithm for the same task. Second, we demonstrate that the combined DeepPT/ENLIGHT pipeline (termed ENLIGHT-DeepPT) successfully predicts true responders using the original ENLIGHT decision threshold with odds ratios of 1.5 - 4.5, increasing the baseline response rates by 15-85% among predicted responders in five independent unseen cohorts of diverse cancer types and treatments. Remarkably, in one dataset where matched data was available, ENLIGHT-DeepPT has similar performance to that obtained by a supervised learning algorithm that was recently published in Nature, trained on the same cohort.
Conclusions: We present for the first time a general framework for predicting patient response to a broad array of targeted and checkpoint therapies from histopathological images, without reliance on treatment outcome data, which are yet scarce and challenging to obtain. Importantly, ENLIGHT-DeepPT offers clinicians real-time treatment recommendations when one cannot wait for sequencing results. Also, and due to its very low cost, we very much hope that it will facilitate the advent of precision oncology in developing countries.

Abstract
Abstract
Recent studies exploring the impact of methylation in tumor evolution suggest that while the methylation status of many of the CpG sites are preserved across distinct lineages, others are altered as the cancer progresses. Since changes in methylation status of a CpG site may be retained in mitosis, they could be used to infer the progression history of a tumor via single-cell lineage tree reconstruction. In this work, we introduce the first principled distance-based computational method, Sgootr, for inferring a tumor's single-cell methylation lineage tree and jointly identifying lineage-informative CpG sites which harbor changes in methylation status that are retained along the lineage. We apply Sgootr on the single-cell bisulfite-treated whole genome sequencing data of multiregionally-sampled tumor cells from 9 metastatic colorectal cancer patients made available by Bian et al., as well as multiregionally-sampled single-cell reduced-representation bisulfite sequencing data from a glioblastoma patient made available by Chaligne et al. We demonstrate that the tumor lineages constructed reveal a simple model underlying colorectal tumor progression and metastatic seeding. A comparison of Sgootr against alternative approaches shows that Sgootr can construct lineage trees with fewer migration events and more in concordance with the sequential-progression model of tumor evolution, in time a fraction of that used in prior studies. Interestingly, lineage-informative CpG sites identified by Sgootr are in inter-CpG island (CGI) regions, as opposed to CGI's, which have been the main regions of interest in genomic methylation-related analyses. Sgootr is implemented as a Snakemake workflow, available at https://github.com/liuy0421/Sgootr.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Precision oncology is gradually advancing into mainstream clinical practice, demonstrating significant survival benefits. However, eligibility and response rates remain limited in many cases, calling for better predictive biomarkers.
Methods: We present ENLIGHT, a transcriptomics-based computational approach that identifies clinically relevant genetic interactions and uses them to predict a patient’s response to a variety of therapies in multiple cancer types, importantly, without training on previous treatment response data. Consequently, in addition to its ability to predict patients' response to approved and well-studied therapies, ENLIGHT can predict the response to new treatments in early development, even before clinical data has accumulated. Accordingly, we study ENLIGHT in two translationally relevant scenarios: Personalized Oncology (PO), aimed at prioritizing approved treatments to a given patient, and Clinical Trial Design (CTD), selecting the subset of most likely responders in a patient cohort.
Results: Evaluating ENLIGHT’s performance on 21 blinded clinical trial datasets spanning 11 indications and 15 different drugs in the PO setting, we show that it can effectively predict a patient’s treatment response across multiple therapies and cancer types, with an overall odds ratio of 2.59 (p=3.41e-8), and a 36% increase in response rate over the baseline (p=3.30e-13). Its prediction accuracy is better than other state-of-the-art transcriptomics-based signatures. Unlike most signatures that are prognostic or provide insights for only very few, specific treatments, ENLIGHT provides matching scores to a broad range of treatments. Quite strikingly, its performance is comparable to that of supervised predictors developed for specific indications and drugs. In combination with the IFN-γ signature, ENLIGHT achieves an odds ratio larger than 4 in predicting response to immune checkpoint therapy. In the CTD scenario, our results show that by excluding non-responders ENLIGHT can enhance clinical trial success for immunotherapies and other monoclonal antibodies, achieving > 90% of the response rate attainable under an optimal exclusion strategy.
Conclusion: ENLIGHT is a powerful transcriptomics-based precision oncology pipeline developed by Pangea Biomed that broadly predicts response to both extant and novel targeted and immune therapies, going beyond context-specific biomarkers.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Rare tumors are defined as <15 cases/100,000 people/year and present an unmet need due to lack of effective medical treatments, paucity of biospecimens and research models, and difficulty accruing to clinical trials. MyPART (My Pediatric and Adult Rare Tumor Network) was established to: 1) engage patients/advocates as partners in rare tumor research, 2) provide expertise and personalized health care to children and young adults with rare tumors, and 3) build databases and tools to advance research on new treatments for rare tumors. We have developed a natural history and biospecimen acquisition study (NCT03739827), enrolling patients with rare solid tumors, their family members, and participants with germline mutations at increased rare tumor risk.
Method: Participants in our natural history study enroll remotely or come to the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. Participants complete medical and family history forms, patient reported outcomes (PROs), and provide tumor samples and blood and/or saliva for DNA/RNA analysis. For patients coming to the Clinical Center, blood samples are collected for immune phenotyping and cytokine analysis. Clinical staff extract medical records for downstream analyses. Tumors are analyzed using a 500+ gene panel and genomic analysis. Participants are followed yearly to collect data on recurrence, progression, PROs, development of additional tumors, and response to treatments such as standard of care and any treatment trials they may join.
Results: We report a clinical and molecular summary of the first 200 participants (66% female, 35% male), with neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN), adrenocortical cancer (ACC), SDH-deficient gastrointestinal stromal tumor (sdGIST), chordoma, medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), and other less commonly enrolled tumors totaling 35 different tumor types. Participants come from 46 US states and 9 countries. Early results show tumor-specific differences in mutations, treatment/management, PROs, and self-reported non-tumor health issues. The most common pathogenic germline mutations are SDHA/SDHB/SDHC in sdGIST and RET in MTC and other tumors. The most common pathogenic tumor mutations are TP53 and CTNNB1 in ACC, SDHA/B and TP53 in sdGIST, MEN1 in NEN, RET and HRAS in MTC, and SMARCB1 in chordoma. Clinically significant levels of anxiety and pain are more frequent in ACC, NEN, and sdGIST.
Conclusions: By developing methods to provide value to rare tumor patients, using a large catchment area and opportunity for remote participation, and collecting data in a tumor-agnostic way, we can learn about multiple rare tumors and share findings more quickly than if each rare tumor was studied alone. We describe the MyPART cohort and challenges to overcome for successful longitudinal rare tumor natural history studies.

Abstract
Abstract
In children, brain tumors account for the highest mortality rates of all malignancies, and in contrast to adult brain cancers, pediatric tumors often arise in infratentorial regions. Two tumors in particular, H3K27-altered diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) and group-A posterior fossa ependymomas (PFAs) arise from structures around the fourth ventricle, and strikingly, both tumors exhibit a global decrease in the histone mark histone 3, lysine 27 tri-methylation (H3K27me3) that is associated with transcriptional repression. H3K27-altered DMGs primarily are found primarily in the pons and exhibit by lysine-to-methionine mutations at H3K27 (H3K27M). This missense mutation results in inhibition of the catalytic activity of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) which mediates H3K27me3 deposition. PFAs are found in the lateral recess of the fourth ventricle and the cerebellum and demonstrate overexpression of EZH inhibitory protein (EZHIP). EZHIP contains a domain with striking resemblance to the mutant H3K27M histone tail and similarly blocks PRC2 activity. Although H3K27me3 levels are dramatically reduced in both areas, select genes retain H3K27me3 in both tumor types. Increasingly, data have emerged demonstrating that cases of PFAs actually harbor H3K27M mutations and cases of H3-wildtype DMGs in fact overexpress EZHIP. The neighboring origins and overlapping recurrent H3K27me3-modulating alterations observed in these two pediatric brain tumors suggest certain populations of cells in the developing hindbrain may be particularly prone to malignant transformation in the setting of PRC2 inhibition. A systematic comparison of genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic datasets for both tumors identified key molecular similarities between subsets of DMGs and PFAs and highlighted how developmental signatures may be preserved in tumor expression profiles. Specifically, these analyses identify shared copy-number profiles between PFAs and different subtypes of DMGs and demonstrate that the Activin A Receptor Type 1 (ACVR1), a gene with recurrent activating mutations in H3K27-altered DMGs, is overexpressed in a subset PFAs with worse survival outcomes. Additionally, interrogation of the H3K27me3 and enhancer landscapes identified critical genes with similar chromatin profiles and revealed heterogeneity in repression of H3K27me3-marked genes that correlated with patterns of inferred anatomic origins for each tumor. Moreover, one of these genes, cellular retinoic acid binding partner 1 (CRABP1) showed enrichment in progenitor cell types in single-cell transcriptomic datasets. Together, these analyses characterize the common and unique molecular features of H3K27-altered DMGs and PFAs and shed light on the cellular contexts of the developing hindbrain that lead to development of each tumor.

Abstract
Pediatric neoplasms in the central nervous system (CNS) show extensive clinical and molecular heterogeneity and are fundamentally different from those occurring in adults. Molecular genetic testing contributes to accurate diagnosis and enables an optimal clinical management of affected children. Here, we investigated a rare, molecularly distinct type of pediatric high-grade neuroepithelial tumor (n = 18), that was identified through unsupervised visualization of genome-wide DNA methylation array data, together with copy number profiling, targeted next-generation DNA sequencing, and RNA transcriptome sequencing. DNA and/or RNA sequencing revealed recurrent fusions involving the capicua transcriptional repressor (CIC) gene in 10/10 tumor samples analyzed, with the most common fusion being CIC::LEUTX (n = 9). In addition, a CIC::NUTM1 fusion was detected in one of the tumors. Apart from the detected fusion events, no additional oncogenic alteration was identified in these tumors. The histopathological review demonstrated a morphologically heterogeneous group of high-grade neuroepithelial tumors with positive immunostaining for markers of glial differentiation in combination with weak and focal expression of synaptophysin, CD56 and CD99. All tumors were located in the supratentorial compartment, occurred during childhood (median age 8.5 years) and typically showed early relapses. In summary, we expand the spectrum of pediatric-type tumors of the CNS by reporting a previously uncharacterized group of rare high-grade neuroepithelial tumors that share a common DNA methylation signature and recurrent gene fusions involving the transcriptional repressor CIC. Downstream functional consequences of the fusion protein CIC::LEUTX and potential therapeutic implications need to be further investigated.

Abstract
Glioneuronal tumors are a heterogenous group of CNS neoplasms that can be challenging to accurately diagnose. Molecular methods are highly useful in classifying these tumors-distinguishing precise classes from their histological mimics and identifying previously unrecognized types of tumors. Using an unsupervised visualization approach of DNA methylation data, we identified a novel group of tumors (n = 20) that formed a cluster separate from all established CNS tumor types. Molecular analyses revealed ATRX alterations (in 16/16 cases by DNA sequencing and/or immunohistochemistry) as well as potentially targetable gene fusions involving receptor tyrosine-kinases (RTK; mostly NTRK1-3) in all of these tumors (16/16; 100%). In addition, copy number profiling showed homozygous deletions of CDKN2A/B in 55% of cases. Histological and immunohistochemical investigations revealed glioneuronal tumors with isomorphic, round and often condensed nuclei, perinuclear clearing, high mitotic activity and microvascular proliferation. Tumors were mainly located supratentorially (84%) and occurred in patients with a median age of 19 years. Survival data were limited (n = 18) but point towards a more aggressive biology as compared to other glioneuronal tumors (median progression-free survival 12.5 months). Given their molecular characteristics in addition to anaplastic features, we suggest the term glioneuronal tumor with ATRX alteration, kinase fusion and anaplastic features (GTAKA) to describe these tumors. In summary, our findings highlight a novel type of glioneuronal tumor driven by different RTK fusions accompanied by recurrent alterations in ATRX and homozygous deletions of CDKN2A/B. Targeted approaches such as NTRK inhibition might represent a therapeutic option for patients suffering from these tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Meningioma is the most common primary intracranial tumor in adults. A subset of these tumors recur and invade the brain, even after surgery and radiation, resulting in significant disability. There is currently no standard-of-care chemotherapy for meningiomas. As genomic DNA methylation profiling can prognostically stratify these lesions, we sought to determine whether any existing chemotherapies might be effective against meningiomas with high-risk methylation profiles. METHODS A previously published dataset of meningioma methylation profiles was used to screen for clinically significant CpG methylation events and associated cellular pathways. Based on these results, patient-derived meningioma cell lines were used to test candidate drugs in vitro and in vivo, including efficacy in conjunction with radiotherapy. RESULTS We identified 981 genes for which methylation of mapped CpG sites was related to progression-free survival in meningiomas. Associated molecular pathways were cross-referenced with FDA-approved cancer drugs, which nominated Docetaxel as a promising candidate for further preclinical analyses. Docetaxel arrested growth in 17 meningioma cell sources, representing all tumor grades, with a clinically favorable IC50 values ranging from 0.3 nM to 10.7 mM. The inhibitory effects of this medication scaled with tumor doubling time, with maximal benefit in fast-growing lesions. The combination of Docetaxel and radiation therapy increased markers of apoptosis and double-stranded DNA breaks, and extended the survival of mice engrafted with meningioma cells relative to either modality alone. CONCLUSIONS Global patterns of DNA methylation may be informative for the selection of chemotherapies against meningiomas, and existing drugs may enhance radiation sensitivity in high-risk cases.

Abstract
Globally decreased histone 3, lysine 27 tri-methylation (H3K27me3) is a hallmark of H3K27-altered diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) and group-A posterior fossa ependymomas (PFAs). H3K27-altered DMGs are largely characterized by lysine-to-methionine mutations in histone 3 at position 27 (H3K27M). Most PFAs overexpress EZH inhibitory protein (EZHIP), which possesses a region of similarity to the mutant H3K27M. Both H3K27M and EZHIP inhibit the function of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) responsible for H3K27me3 deposition. These tumors often arise in neighboring regions of the brainstem and posterior fossa. In rare cases PFAs harbor H3K27M mutations, and DMGs overexpress EZHIP. These findings together raise the possibility that certain cell populations in the developing hindbrain/posterior fossa are especially sensitive to modulation of H3K27me3 states. We identified shared molecular features by comparing genomic, bulk transcriptomic, chromatin-based profiles, and single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from the two tumor classes. Our approach demonstrated that 1q gain, a key biomarker in PFAs, is prognostic in H3.1K27M, but not H3.3K27M gliomas. Conversely, Activin A Receptor Type 1 (ACVR1), which is associated with mutations in H3.1K27M gliomas, is overexpressed in a subset of PFAs with poor outcome. Despite diffuse H3K27me3 reduction, previous work shows that both tumors maintain genomic H3K27me3 deposition at select sites. We demonstrate heterogeneity in shared patterns of residual H3K27me3 for both tumors that largely segregated with inferred anatomic tumor origins and progenitor populations of tumor cells. In contrast, analysis of genes linked to H3K27 acetylation (H3K27ac)-marked enhancers showed higher expression in astrocytic-like tumor cells. Finally, common H3K27me3-marked genes mapped closely to expression patterns in the human developing hindbrain. Overall, our data demonstrate developmentally relevant molecular similarities between PFAs and H3K27M DMGs and support the overall hypothesis that deregulated mechanisms of hindbrain development are central to the biology of both tumors.

Abstract
Spatial transcriptomics (ST) technology through in situ capturing has enabled topographical gene expression profiling of tumor tissues. However, each capturing spot may contain diverse immune and malignant cells, with different cell densities across tissue regions. Cell type deconvolution in tumor ST data remains challenging for existing methods designed to decompose general ST or bulk tumor data. We develop the Spatial Cellular Estimator for Tumors (SpaCET) to infer cell identities from tumor ST data. SpaCET first estimates cancer cell abundance by integrating a gene pattern dictionary of copy number alterations and expression changes in common malignancies. A constrained regression model then calibrates local cell densities and determines immune and stromal cell lineage fractions. SpaCET provides higher accuracy than existing methods based on simulation and real ST data with matched double-blind histopathology annotations as ground truth. Further, coupling cell fractions with ligand-receptor coexpression analysis, SpaCET reveals how intercellular interactions at the tumor-immune interface promote cancer progression.

Abstract
The uncommon MN1-altered primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors were recently added to the World Health Organization 2021 classification under the name Astroblastoma, MN1-altered. Another term used to describe them, "High-grade neuroepithelial tumor with MN1 alteration" (HGNET-MN1), makes reference to their distinct epigenetic profile but is currently not a recommended name. Thought to occur most commonly in children and predominantly in females, MN1-altered CNS tumors are associated with typical but not pathognomonic histological patterns and are characterized by a distinct DNA methylation profile and recurrent fusions implicating the MN1 (meningioma 1) gene. Diagnosis based on histological features alone is challenging: most cases with morphological features of astroblastoma (but not all) show these molecular features, whereas not all tumors with MN1 fusions show astroblastoma morphology. There is large variability in reported outcomes and detailed clinical and therapeutic information is frequently missing. Some patients experience multiple recurrences despite multimodality treatment, whereas others experience no recurrence after surgical resection alone, suggesting large clinical and biological heterogeneity despite unifying epigenetic features and recurrent fusions. In this report, we present the demographics, tumor characteristics, treatment, and outcome (including patient-reported outcomes) of three adults with MN1-altered primary CNS tumors diagnosed via genome-wide DNA methylation and RNA sequencing. All three patients were females and two of them were diagnosed as young adults. By reporting our neuropathological and clinical findings and comparing them with previously published cases we provide insight into the clinical heterogeneity of this tumor. Additionally, we propose a model for prospective, comprehensive, and systematic collection of clinical data in addition to neuropathological data, including standardized patient-reported outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Precision oncology is gradually advancing into mainstream clinical practice, demonstrating significant survival benefits. However, eligibility and response rates remain limited in many cases, calling for better predictive biomarkers. METHODS We present ENLIGHT, a transcriptomics-based computational approach that identifies clinically relevant genetic interactions and uses them to predict a patient's response to a variety of therapies in multiple cancer types without training on previous treatment response data. We study ENLIGHT in two translationally oriented scenarios: personalized oncology (PO), aimed at prioritizing treatments for a single patient, and clinical trial design (CTD), selecting the most likely responders in a patient cohort. FINDINGS Evaluating ENLIGHT's performance on 21 blinded clinical trial datasets in the PO setting, we show that it can effectively predict a patient's treatment response across multiple therapies and cancer types. Its prediction accuracy is better than previously published transcriptomics-based signatures and is comparable with that of supervised predictors developed for specific indications and drugs. In combination with the interferon-γ signature, ENLIGHT achieves an odds ratio larger than 4 in predicting response to immune checkpoint therapy. In the CTD scenario, ENLIGHT can potentially enhance clinical trial success for immunotherapies and other monoclonal antibodies by excluding non-responders while overall achieving more than 90% of the response rate attainable under an optimal exclusion strategy. CONCLUSIONS ENLIGHT demonstrably enhances the ability to predict therapeutic response across multiple cancer types from the bulk tumor transcriptome.

Abstract
Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) poses a diagnostic challenge. The present study relies on methylation-based predictions and focuses on copy number variations (CNV) in PXA. We identified 551 tumors from patients having received the histologic diagnosis or differential diagnosis pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) uploaded to the web page www.molecularneuropathology.org. Of these 551 tumors, 165 received the prediction "methylation class (anaplastic) pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma" with a calibrated score >=0.9 by the brain tumor classifier version v12.8 and, therefore, were defined the PXA reference set designated mcPXAref. In addition to these 165 mcPXAref, 767 other tumors received the prediction mcPXA with a calibrated score >=0.9 but without a histological PXA diagnosis. The total number of individual tumors predicted by histology and/or by methylome based classification as PXA, mcPXA or both was 1318, and these were designated the study cohort. The selection of a control cohort was guided by methylation-based predictions recurrently observed for the other 386/551 tumors diagnosed as histologic PXA. 131/386 received predictions for another entity besides PXA with a score >=0.9. Control tumors corresponding to the 11 most common other predictions were selected, adding up to 1100 reference cases. CNV profiles were calculated from all methylation datasets of the study and control cohorts. Special attention was given to the 7/10 signature, gene amplifications and homozygous deletion of CDKN2A/B. Comparison of CNV in the subsets of the study cohort and the control cohort were used to establish relations independent of histological diagnoses. Tumors in mcPXA were highly homogenous in regard to CNV alterations, irrespective of the histological diagnoses. The 7/10 signature commonly present in glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype, was present in 15-20% of mcPXA, whereas amplification of oncogenes (likewise common in glioblastoma) was very rare in mcPXA (<1%). In contrast, the histology-based PXA group exhibited high variance in regard to methylation classes as well as to CNVs. Our data add to the notion, that histologically defined PXA likely only represent a subset of the biological disease.

Abstract
Epigenetic changes have been found to be increasingly important in tumor development and progression. These alterations can be present in tumors such as meningiomas in the absence of any gene mutations and alter gene expression without affecting the sequence of the DNA itself. Some examples of these alterations that have been studied in meningiomas include DNA methylation, microRNA interaction, histone packaging, and chromatin restructuring. In this chapter we will describe in detail each of these mechanisms of epigenetic modification in meningiomas and their prognostic significance.
