A recurrent point mutation in PRKCA is a hallmark of chordoid gliomas

Chordoid glioma is a slow growing diencephalic tumor whose mutational landscape is poorly characterized. Here, the authors perform whole-exome and RNA-sequencing and find that 15 of 16 chordoid glioma cases studied harbor the same PRKCA mutation which results in enhanced proliferation.
