A recurrent kinase domain mutation in PRKCA defines chordoid glioma of the third ventricle

Chordoid glioma is a rare low-grade brain tumor that originates from the anterior wall of the third ventricle where surgical resection is challenging; the clinical outcome of patients after subtotal resection or disease recurrence is poor. Here the authors identify a recurrent missense mutation in P...

Sumario:Chordoid glioma is a rare low-grade brain tumor that originates from the anterior wall of the third ventricle where surgical resection is challenging; the clinical outcome of patients after subtotal resection or disease recurrence is poor. Here the authors identify a recurrent missense mutation in PRKCA that may serve as a potential therapeutic target in this uncommon brain cancer.
