Specific brain MRI features of constitutional mismatch repair deficiency syndrome in children with high-grade gliomas

Background Children with constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) syndrome have an increased risk of high-grade gliomas (HGG), and brain imaging abnormalities. This study analyzes brain imaging features in CMMRD syndrome children versus those with HGG without CMMRD. Methods Retrospective co...

Description
Summary:Background Children with constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) syndrome have an increased risk of high-grade gliomas (HGG), and brain imaging abnormalities. This study analyzes brain imaging features in CMMRD syndrome children versus those with HGG without CMMRD. Methods Retrospective comparative analysis of brain imaging in 30 CMMRD children (20 boys, median age eight years, 22 with HGG), seven with Lynch syndrome (7 HGG), 39 with type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF1) (four with HGG) and 50 with HGG without MMR or NF1 pathogenic variant (“no-predisposition” patients). Results HGG in CMMRD and Lynch patients were predominantly hemispheric (versus midline) compared to NF1 and no-predisposition patients (91% and 86%, vs 25% and 54%, p  = 0.004). CMMRD-associated tumors often had ill-defined boundaries ( p  = 0.008). All CMMRD patients exhibited at least one developmental venous anomaly (DVA), versus 14%, 10%, and 6% of Lynch, NF1, and no-predisposition patients ( p
