WHO Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System (5th Edition)
Cancer Sub-Classification / Subtype
Diffuse Astrocytoma, MYB- or MYBL1-Altered
Definition / Description of Disease
Diffuse astrocytoma, MYB or MYBL1-altered is one of several newly recognized tumor types in the 5th edition of the WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System. The newly recognized classifications were in response to advances in understanding of paediatric-type gliomas, facilitated by an increased molecular characterisation of these tumours. Diffuse astrocytoma, MYB or MYBL1-altered is a subset of diffuse low-grade glioma with amplifications, structural variants, and fusions involving the MYB and MYBL1 protooncogenes. Diffuse astrocytoma, MYB or MYBL1-altered subtypes are without characteristic histological features of angiocentric glioma[1][2]. A related group of diffuse gliomas, the isomorphic glioma, occur predominantly in adults and are typically well-differentiated, low to moderately cellular, comprised of astrocytes with rounded nuclei and regular chromatin structures, and have low proliferative indices[3][4]. These adult diffuse gliomas exhibit alterations of MYBL1 rather than MYB . Gene fusions with multiple partners characterize the pediatric MYB or MYBL1-altered gliomas[5][6]. The most frequently identified fusion is with QKI[7][8]. The MYB or MYBL1-altered diffuse gliomas in both children and adults are generally indolent and behave in a WHO grade 1 fashion.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): well-delineated, occasionally infiltrative-appearing, non-enhancing T1-hypointense, T2-fluid attenuated inversion recovery-hyperintense lesion without restricted diffusion[9] |
Laboratory Findings | Genetics: Negative for IDH1 p.R132H, BRAF p.V600E; positive for MYBL1 or MYB rearrangement, amplification, or copy number change |
Sites of Involvement
Supratentorial (adult), cortical and subcortical regions of the cerebral cortex (pediatric)[10]
Morphologic Features
Histomorphology: minimally to moderately hypercellular tumor; diffuse infiltration by monomorphic cells with ovoid to elongated nuclei, scant cytoplasm, fibrillary background[11][12]
Immunophenotype
Positivity for GFAP, below 1% Ki-67 index, negative for OLIG2 and IDH1 R132H[13]

Individual Region Genomic Gain/Loss/LOH

Characteristic Chromosomal Patterns
Possible detection of double minutes or homogeneously stained regions by G-banding for amplification; will require confirmation of being associated with MYB or MYBL (likely by chromosomal microarray)
