Abstract

Low-grade gliomas (LGG) represent the most common type of central nervous system (CNS) neoplasm in children. Importantly, pediatric-type LGGs, affecting children and young adults, are molecularly distinct from adult-type LGGs. While the latter typically harbor IDH1 or IDH2 mutations, pediatric-type LGGs invariably involve activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade. While adult-type LGG often progress into higher grade gliomas over time, pediatric-type LGGs are associated with excellent overall survival of >95%. Nonetheless, they are at risk for progression many years after diagnosis and patients may suffer functional morbidity.
