DOI: 10.1007/s00401-019-02002-2
Abstract: Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder that presents with variable phenotypes as a result of mutations in the neurofibromatosis type 1 ( NF1 ) gene and subsequently, abnormal function of the protein… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10143-017-0915-z
Abstract: Pilocytic astrocytomas (PAs) are seemingly innocuous and benign tumors. However, in recent times, many case series have documented high rates of hemorrhage in these neoplasms. We hereby provide a detailed analysis on hemorrhagic pilocytic astrocytomas… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/neuonc/noaa222.423
Abstract: Abstract IDH-mutant astrocytomas are well-recognized in the adult population and while increasingly identified, are rare in children and young adults. These tumors typically arise in cortical locations, however cases of these tumors occurring in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1212/wnl.0000000000010324
Abstract: Objective To assess the predictive value of T2 appearance as a defining criterion of T2–fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) mismatch sign (T2FM), further characterize tumors that display the marker, and describe its radiographic evolution. Methods Records… read more here.

DOI: 10.3174/ajnr.a7136
Abstract: SUMMARY: Pilomyxoid astrocytoma is a rare form of pediatric CNS malignancy first classified in 2007 by the World Health Organization. The tumors are similar to pilocytic astrocytomas, sharing both some imaging and histologic traits. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3174/ajnr.a7666
Abstract: Visualization of the corticomedullary junction by 7T SWI was useful in distinguishing astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas. Observation of tapering of the cortex was most sensitive and specific for diagnosing astrocytomas. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Despite advances in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.837570
Abstract: In this study, we report 31 spinal intramedullary astrocytoma (SIA) RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) profiles for 25 adult patients with documented clinical annotations. To our knowledge, this is the first clinically annotated RNA-seq dataset of spinal… read more here.
