a

The subgroup designated “other embryonal tumors” includes six patients with tumors formerly classified as CNS primitive neuro-ectodermal tumor (PNET) and one patient more recently diagnosed with embryonal tumor, not otherwise specified (NOS).

* Including tumors classified as anaplastic astrocytoma (n=3), anaplastic pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (n=1), and anaplastic oligodendroglioma (n=1).

# Including tumors diagnosed as DIPG on the basis of classic radiographic and clinical features, histologically consistent with diffuse midline glioma, H3K27M-mutant (n=3) and anaplastic astrocytoma (n=1) [all with tissue available from biopsy].
