Definition
A rare, low-grade diffuse glioma with morphological features of astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma, generally affecting children. It is characterized by a gene alteration that results in a MAPK pathway abnormality. The genetic abnormalities are typically a BRAF p.V600E substitution mutation, mutations or fusions involving the FGFR1 gene and internal tandem duplication (ITD) of the sequences of FGFR1 gene encoding the tyrosine kinase domain (TKD). The tumor is IDH-wildtype and does not have a homozygous deletion of CDKN2A gene.

CancerIndex is a research and information platform. It does not diagnose and does not recommend treatment.
Key figures
Each figure carries its unit, period and source; ranks link to "Why this rank?".
No registry-level ancestor: burden figures are published for the mutually exclusive top-level site groups only, and this entity does not descend from one. Global figures (IARC / GLOBOCAN) stay under license review and SEER awaits credentials.
