This is a distinct entity in the World Health Organization (WHO) classification system within the section of paediatric-type diffuse high-grade gliomas. Distinct methylation profiles and molecular alterations define three subtypes: dpHGG RTK1, dpHGG RTK2, and dpHGG MYCN. Gliomas arising after therapeutic radiation are predominantly of the pHGG RTK1 subtype. Known tumorigenic drivers include TP53, MYCN, ID2, and genes from RAS/MAPK and PI3K pathways.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Buczkowicz|first=Pawel|last2=Hoeman|first2=Christine|last3=Rakopoulos|first3=Patricia|last4=Pajovic|first4=Sanja|last5=Letourneau|first5=Louis|last6=Dzamba|first6=Misko|last7=Morrison|first7=Andrew|last8=Lewis|first8=Peter|last9=Bouffet|first9=Eric|date=2014-05|title=Genomic analysis of diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas identifies three molecular subgroups and recurrent activating ACVR1 mutations|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24705254|journal=Nature Genetics|volume=46|issue=5|pages=451–456|doi=10.1038/ng.2936|issn=1546-1718|pmc=3997489|pmid=24705254}}</ref> <ref>{{Cite journal|last=Sturm|first=Dominik|last2=Orr|first2=Brent A.|last3=Toprak|first3=Umut H.|last4=Hovestadt|first4=Volker|last5=Jones|first5=David T.

The morphology of dHGGs, H3-/IDH-wildtype, shows glioblastoma-like features with high cellularity, mitotic activity, microvascular proliferation, and necrosis; however, undifferentiated, primitive morphology and areas of glial differentiation can also be noted within the same case. The pHGG MYCN molecular subtype often consists of large cells with distinct nucleoli admixed with spindle-shaped and epithelioid cells; the architecture of these tumours can show areas of diffuse infiltration, in combinaiton with circumscribed nodules.<ref name=":3" />
