Pediatric High-Grade Gliomas (pHGG) are among the deadliest childhood brain tumors and can be associated with an underlying cancer predisposing syndrome. The thorough understanding of these syndromes can aid the clinician in their prompt recognition, leading to an informed genetic counseling for families and to a wider understanding of a specific genetic landscape of the tumor for target therapies. In this review, we summarize the main pHGG-associated cancer predisposing conditions, providing a guide for suspecting these syndromes and referring for genetic counseling.
小儿高级别胶质瘤(pHGG)是最致命的儿童脑肿瘤之一,可能与潜在的癌症易感综合征有关。对这些综合征的深入了解有助于临床医生迅速识别,从而为家庭提供明智的遗传咨询,并更广泛地了解肿瘤的特定基因特征以进行靶向治疗。在本综述中,我们总结了与pHGG相关的主要癌症易感情况,为怀疑这些综合征并寻求遗传咨询提供指导。
