Findings

No curated finding names diffuse astrocytoma yet. Everything below is reference data from Mondo, HPO and GenCC, not evidence about what affects it.

Definition

A low-grade (WHO grade II) astrocytic neoplasm. It is characterized by diffuse infiltration of neighboring central nervous system structures. These lesions typically affect young adults and have a tendency for progression to anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma. Based on the IDH genes mutation status, diffuse astrocytomas are classified as IDH-mutant, IDH-wildtype, and not otherwise specified.
