    1. H3 K27M-mutant gliomas in adults vs. children share similar histological features and adverse prognosis

      [Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC5822176

      Evidence Type(s): Prognostic, Oncogenic

      Justification: Prognostic: The text indicates that longer survival has been reported in some patients with H3 K27M-mutant tumors, suggesting that the presence of this mutation may correlate with survival outcomes. Oncogenic: The H3 K27M mutation is associated with the transformation of tumors, as seen in the case where a pure ganglioglioma transformed into glioblastoma, indicating its role in tumorigenesis.

      Variants: K27M

    2. MIB-1 labeling indices correlated with the diagnosis and grade assigned prior to H3 K27M IHC testing (Table 1). For the adult cohort, 1 case met WHO criteria for diffuse astrocytoma, WHO grade II (MIB-1 < 1%), 7 cases me

      Evidence Type(s): Diagnostic

      Justification: Diagnostic: The passage discusses the correlation of MIB-1 labeling indices with the diagnosis and grade of tumors, indicating that the K27M variant is associated with specific tumor classifications.

    3. The known lower frequency of ATRX mutation/loss of ATRX nuclear immunostaining in only 10 - 15% of H3 K27M-mutant tumors makes this feature less amenable to comparisons between the 2 cohorts. However, of the 7 adult case

    4. Four cases had other morphologies at initial biopsy, including pure GG (n = 3, pediatric) and PA (n = 1, adult) histologies. One of the GGs was a 16-year-old girl with an original biopsy demonstrating a pure thalamic GG

      [Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC5822176 Section: RESULTS PassageIndex: 4

      Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic

      Justification: Oncogenic: The passage discusses the transformation of tumors associated with the K27M variant, indicating its role in tumor development and progression, particularly in the context of glioblastoma transformation.

    5. Table 1 summarizes the ages, gender, anatomical location, initial histological diagnoses, and p53 IHC labeling indices discerned prior to H3 K27M IHC in the 28 H3 K27M-mutant tumors identified in our databases. There wer

      [Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC5822176 Section: RESULTS PassageIndex: 2

      Evidence Type(s): Diagnostic, Oncogenic

      Justification: Diagnostic: The passage discusses the identification of H3 K27M-mutant tumors and provides demographic information, indicating that the variant is associated with specific histological diagnoses and patient characteristics. Oncogenic: The mention of H3 K27M in the context of tumors suggests that this somatic variant contributes to tumor development or progression, as it is identified in mutant tumors.

    6. Background: H3 K27M mutation was originally described in pediatric diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs), but has been recently recognized to occur also in adult midline diffuse gliomas, as well as midline tumors wit

      [Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC5822176 Section: ABSTRACT PassageIndex: 1

      Evidence Type(s): Diagnostic, Prognostic, Oncogenic

      Justification: Diagnostic: The passage discusses the H3 K27M mutation's association with various tumor types, indicating its role in defining and classifying these tumors, particularly in pediatric and adult cohorts. Prognostic: The passage mentions survival outcomes for patients with H3 K27M-mutant tumors, comparing mean survival times between adults and pediatric patients, which indicates a correlation with disease outcome. Oncogenic: The H3 K27M mutation is described as contributing to tumor development in various glioma types, indicating its role as a somatic variant involved in tumor progression.
