    Abstract: Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a highly malignant tumor of the central nervous system characterized by biallelic inactivation of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex members SMARCB1/INI1 or (rarely) SMARCA4/BRG1. Most high-grade central ... ...

    Abstract Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a highly malignant tumor of the central nervous system characterized by biallelic inactivation of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex members SMARCB1/INI1 or (rarely) SMARCA4/BRG1. Most high-grade central nervous system lesions showing loss of nuclear SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 protein expression can indeed be categorized as AT/RT. However, some high-grade lesions have been identified, whose clinical and/or molecular features justify separation from AT/RT. Furthermore, other recently described tumor types such as desmoplastic myxoid tumor, SMARCB1-mutant, and low-grade diffusely infiltrative tumor, SMARCB1-mutant, may even manifest as low-grade lesions. Here, we review recent developments in the definition of the molecular landscape of AT/RT and give an update on other rare high- and low-grade SWI/SNF-deficient central nervous system tumors.

    Abstract Purpose: Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a rare malignancy of the central nervous system in young children with a dismal prognosis. Prognostic markers have been extensively investigated but have not been validated. The role of radiation therapy (RT) remains controversial. We evaluated the impact of RT as part of multimodality treatment by analyzing data of a European AT/RT cohort.
    Methods and materials: We retrospectively analyzed data of the European Registry for Rhabdoid Tumors and its precursors. Primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Potential impact of prognostic factors was analyzed using univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses with RT as a time-dependent factor.
    Results: Data of 186 children (118 male, 68 female) treated from 1990 to 2016 were evaluable. The median age at diagnosis was 1.57 years (range, 0.01-26.70 years); 47% (87/186) of the patients were under the age of 18 months. Sixty-nine percent (128/186) received RT (focal RT, n = 93; craniospinal treatment with local boost, n = 34; spinal irradiation, n = 1). The median follow-up duration of the entire cohort was 1.73 years (range, 0.06-20.11 years). The estimated PFS and OS rates were 48% (95% CI, 41%-55%) and 72% (95% CI, 65%-78%) at 1 year and 33% (95% CI, 26%-40%) and 49% (95% CI, 41%-56%) at 2 years, respectively. On multivariable analysis, RT was an independent significant prognostic factor for PFS (hazard ratio, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.27-0.75; P = .002) and OS (hazard ratio, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.32-0.93; P = .025).
    Conclusions: This analysis confirms the relevance of local therapies. RT was an independent prognostic factor for outcomes in children experiencing AT/RT. However, long-term sequelae have to be carefully evaluated and considered given the young age at time of RT.

    Abstract Ependymomas represent a heterogeneous group of glial tumors whose biological behavior depends on various histological, molecular, and clinical variables. The scope of this chapter is to review the clinical and histo-logical features as well as the molecular genetics of ependymomas with special emphasis on their influence on tumor recurrence and prognosis. Furthermore, potential molecular targets for therapy are outlined.

    Abstract Purpose: Choroid plexus tumors comprise of choroid plexus papilloma (CPP, WHO grade I), atypical choroid plexus papilloma (aCPP, WHO grade II) and choroid plexus carcinoma (CPC, WHO grade III). Molecular events driving the majority of choroid plexus tumors remain poorly understood. Recently, DNA methylation profiling has revealed different epigenetic subgroups.
    Methods: Comprehensive review of epigenetic profiles of choroid plexus tumors in the context of histopathological, genetic, and clinical features. DNA methylation profiling segregates choroid plexus tumors into three distinct epigenetic subgroups: supratentorial pediatric low-risk choroid plexus tumors (CPP and aCPP), infratentorial adult low-risk choroid plexus tumors (CPP and aCPP), and supratentorial pediatric high-risk choroid plexus tumors (CPP and aCPP and CPC). Epigenetic subgrouping provides additional prognostic information in comparison to histopathological grading.
    Conclusions: Epigenetic profiling of choroid plexus tumors can be used for the identification of patients at risk of recurrence and is expected to play a role for treatment stratification and patient management in the context of future clinical trials.

    Abstract We performed spatial epigenetic and transcriptomic analyses of a highly unusual low-grade diffusely infiltrative tumour with INI1 deficiency (CNS LGDIT-INI1), which harboured a high-grade component corresponding to an atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumour (AT/RT). Methylation profiles of both low-grade and high-grade components yielded high similarity with AT/RTs of the MYC subgroup, whereas RNA expression analyses revealed increased translational activity and MYC pathway activation in the high-grade component. Close follow-up of patients harbouring CNS LGDIT-INI1 is warranted.

    Abstract Hemangioblastomas (HBs) of the central nervous system are highly vascular neoplasms that occur sporadically or as a manifestation of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. Despite their benign nature, HBs are clinically heterogeneous and can be associated with significant morbidity due to mass effects of peritumoral cysts or tumor progression. Underlying molecular factors involved in HB tumor biology remain elusive. We investigated genome-wide DNA methylation profiles and clinical and histopathological features in a series of 47 HBs from 42 patients, including 28 individuals with VHL disease. Thirty tumors occurred in the cerebellum, 8 in the brainstem and 8 HBs were of spinal location, while 1 HB was located in the cerebrum. Histologically, 12 HBs (26%) belonged to the cellular subtype and exclusively occurred in the cerebellum, whereas 35 HBs were reticular (74%). Unsupervised clustering and dimensionality reduction of DNA methylation profiles revealed two distinct subgroups. Methylation cluster 1 comprised 30 HBs of mainly cerebellar location (29/30, 97%), whereas methylation cluster 2 contained 17 HBs predominantly located in non-cerebellar compartments (16/17, 94%). The sum of chromosomal regions being affected by copy-number alterations was significantly higher in methylation cluster 1 compared to cluster 2 (mean 262 vs. 109 Mb, p = 0.001). Of note, loss of chromosome 6 occurred in 9/30 tumors (30%) of methylation cluster 1 and was not observed in cluster 2 tumors (p = 0.01). No relevant methylation differences between sporadic and VHL-related HBs or cystic and non-cystic HBs could be detected. Deconvolution of the bulk DNA methylation profiles revealed four methylation components that were associated with the two methylation clusters suggesting cluster-specific cell-type compositions. In conclusion, methylation profiling of HBs reveals 2 distinct subgroups that mainly associate with anatomical location, cytogenetic profiles and differences in cell type composition, potentially reflecting different cells of origin.
