Location specific ACVR1, FGFR1 and TP53 mutations in pediatric glioblastomas in conjunction with H3.3 K27M.

Recurrent somatic H3 K27M mutations characterize midline pediatric high-grade astrocytomas (pHGAs). In 40 treatment-naïve midline pHGAs we find additional somatic mutations specific to tumor location. Gain-of-function mutations in ACVR1 occur in tumors of the pons in conjunction with H3.1K27M, while FGFR1 mutations/fusions occur in thalamic tumors in conjunction with H3.3 K27M. Genetic profiles of pHGA show actionable targets, suggesting that pre-treatment biopsy could effectively orient therapeutic efforts.
