Instead, they harbored frequent inactivating mutations in TP53, NF1, PTEN, ATRX, and SETD2 and recurrent activating mutations in PDGFRA. DNA methylation profiling revealed they did not align with known reference adult glioblastoma methylation classes, but instead had unique globally hypomethylated epigenomes and mostly classified as “Diffuse pediatric-type high grade glioma, RTK1 subtype, subclass A”. Here, NF1 is linked to malignant glioma.
