Abstract
Background: Dysembryoplastic Neuroepithelial Tumours (DNT) are benign brain lesions arising during childhoodthat are characterized by early onset partial seizures, no neurological deficit and cortical location. Pathological diagnosisis easy when the glioneuronal element is present. Its absence might lead to the diagnosis of non-specific DNT orlow-grade glioma (LGG).
Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to analyse clinicopathological and molecular features of a series of corticaltumours, in order to find diagnostic and prognostic markers to better custom treatment next.Methods: Twenty four children with cortical neuroepithelial tumour were included. Clinical and radiological data werecollected. Histological diagnosis was reviewed for all patients. 1p19q and p53 status were obtained by FISH and immunohistochemistryrespectively. IDH1-2 gene mutations were assessed by DNA sequencing. CGH-array was performed in6/24 samples.Results: We recorded 13 DNT and 11 cortical LGG. Median age at surgery was 11.5 years. Overall survival was 100%and event-free survival at 10 years was 70%. No tumour displayed chromosomal alteration or 1p19q deletion or p53 expression.Only one patient with grade-II oligoastrocytoma had an IDH1 mutation. No statistical difference was found betweenthe two populations in terms of age, sex, tumour location, type of surgical resection, disease progression and clinicalstatus at last follow-up. Only the occurrence of septations on preoperative MRI was significantly associated withpathological features of DNT.Conclusion: Patients with DNT and cortical LGG share excellent outcome. Our genetic analysis could not distinguishDNT from LGG. In particular, CGH-array analysis was strictly normal in both tumor types. In attempt to find molecularmarkers, diagnosis of these lesions remains difficult when the glioneuronal element is lacking.Keywords:Biological and genetic markers, Dysembryoplasic Neuroepithelial Tumours (DNT), IDH1 gene, low grade glioma,glioneuronal element

Adaptogens—History and Future Perspectives
Adaptogens are pharmacologically active compounds or plant extracts that are associated with the ability to enhance the body’s stability against stress. The intake of adaptogens is associated not only with a better ability to adapt to stress and maintain or normalise metabolic functions but also with better mental and physical ...read more
Addressing the Most Common Causes of Death with Niacin/NAD and Inositol Polyphosphates
The most common causes of death in the world are cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer. These are perhaps best addressed by reducing lipodystrophy and blockages with niacin and inositol polyphosphates (e.g., IP6+inositol) respectively when addressing CVD. Niacin serves as a vitamin by virtue of its role as a skeletal precursor ...read more
AlphaFold in Medicinal Chemistry: Opportunities and Challenges
AlphaFold, a groundbreaking AI tool for protein structure prediction, is revolutionizing drug discovery. Its near-atomic accuracy unlocks new avenues for designing targeted drugs and performing efficient virtual screening. However, AlphaFold's static predictions lack the dynamic nature of proteins, crucial for understanding drug action. This is especially true for multi-domain proteins, ...read more
Artificial intelligence for Natural Products Discovery and Development
Our approach involves using computational methods to predict the potential therapeutic benefits of natural products by considering factors such as drug structure, targets, and interactions. We also employ multitarget analysis to understand the role of drug targets in disease pathways. We advocate for the use of artificial intelligence in predicting ...read more
