'''Posterior fossa Ependymoma'''
Two distinct molecular subgroups exist in the posterior fossa:<ref>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Witt | first1 = H. | last2 = Mack | first2 = SC. | last3 = Ryzhova | first3 = M. | last4 = Bender | first4 = S. | last5 = Sill | first5 = M. | last6 = Isserlin | first6 = R. | last7 = Benner | first7 = A. | last8 = Hielscher | first8 = T. | last9 = Milde | first9 = T. | title = Delineation of two clinically and molecularly distinct subgroups of posterior fossa ependymoma. | journal = Cancer Cell | volume = 20 | issue = 2 | pages = 143-57 | month = Aug | year = 2011 | doi = 10.1016/j.ccr.2011.07.007 | PMID = 21840481 }}</ref>

Supratentorial ependymomas have also a distinct profile:
*70 % of these ependymomas are ZFTA-fusion positive and have recurrent gene fusions mostly involving RELA<ref>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Parker | first1 = M. | last2 = Mohankumar | first2 = KM. | last3 = Punchihewa | first3 = C. | last4 = Weinlich | first4 = R. | last5 = Dalton | first5 = JD. | last6 = Li | first6 = Y. | last7 = Lee | first7 = R. | last8 = Tatevossian | first8 = RG. | last9 = Phoenix | first9 = TN. | title = C11orf95-RELA fusions drive oncogenic NF-κB signalling in ependymoma. | journal = Nature | volume = 506 | issue = 7489 | pages = 451-5 | month = Feb | year = 2014 | doi = 10.1038/nature13109 | PMID = 24553141 }}</ref>

*6-8% are YAP1-fusion positive, mostly MAMLD1 as fusion partner.
Note: Molecular subgroups have no treatment implications (at the moment).
