Interestingly, subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (SEGA), chordoid gliomas of the third ventricle, and hypothalamic gangliocytomas or neurocytomas have also been shown to express TTF-1, and it has been proposed that TTF-1 positive tumors may represent a spectrum of early forebrain derived neoplasms [2, 21–23, 42, 64]. The gene discussed is TTF1; the disease is subependymal giant cell astrocytoma.
