=Diffuse pediatric-type high-grade glioma, H3-wildtype and IDH-wildtype=
* CNS WHO grade 4 tumour ocurring in children and adolescents.
* May occur anywhere in the brain.
* Contrast enhancing tumour.
* Frequent alterations include TP53, PDGFRA, EGFR or MYCN.
* Absence of IDH1/2 and H3F3a mutation.
* Three distinct subtypes in methylation profile.
 
=Infant-type hemispheric glioma=
* Large astrocytic tumor.
* Median age: 2 months.
* Supratentorial.
* May be present before birth.
* Well demarcated.
* Typically with ALK, ROS1 or MET fusions.
* Distinct methylation tumor profile.
* Outcome in infants with ALK fusions usu. somewhat better than in older children.
