Molecular Characterization of Choroid Plexus Tumors Reveals Novel Clinically Relevant Subgroups

Our data demonstrate that differences in CN, gene expression, and DNA methylation signatures distinguish CPCs from CPPs and aCPPs; however, molecular similarities among the papillomas suggest that these two histologic subgroups are indeed a single molecular entity. A greater number of copies of mutated TP53 were significantly associated to increased tumor aggressiveness and a worse survival outcome in CPCs. Collectively, these findings will facilitate stratified approaches to the clinical management of CPTs.
