Recurrent activating ACVR1 mutations in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma

Alternative title:
Recurrent activating ACVR1/ALK2 mutations in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma
Abstract:

Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) are highly infiltrative malignant glial neoplasms of the ventral pons that, due to their location within the brain, are unsuitable for surgical resection and consequently have a universally dismal clinical outcome. The median survival time is 9-12 months, with neither chemotherapeutic nor targeted agents showing substantial survival benefit in clinical trials in children with these tumors.
