Abstract

In 2016 the World Health Organization updated the classification of central nervous system tumours to incorporate molecular analysis alongside histopathological evaluation. Under the revised system, diagnosis of oligodendroglioma requires presence of both an IDH mutation and codeletion of chromosomal regions 1p and 19q. In 2019, the All Wales Medical Genomics Service (AWMGS) introduced a bespoke multi-gene NGS panel for a range of tumour types, which included 10 genes/regions implicated in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of gliomas.
