Abstract

Summary This study reviews the cases of three pediatric patients with central nervous system (CNS) tumors found to have CHEK2 mutations. Germline testing, obtained in one case, demonstrates that the CHEK2 mutation is germline in nature. We speculate that CHEK2 may be playing a role in carcinogenesis, and that further reporting of similar cases may help identify a new molecular driver in pediatric CNS tumors.
