Integrated molecular analyses identified FGFR1 alterations, particularly FGFR1::TACC1 fusions, as the predominant molecular driver of this tumour class. A smaller number of tumours harboured FGFR1 hotspot mutations (p.N546K and p.K656E). Among these, two cases additionally showed NF1 variants, and one tumour carried a PIK3CA mutation (p.H1047L). In addition, a single case exhibited an NTRK2 fusion. Histologically, tumours exhibited neurocytic differentiation with neuropil islands and a minor glial component, while immunohistochemistry showed frequent OLIG2 expression, contrasting with the typical immunophenotype of central neurocytoma. Notably, tumours with an EVN DNA methylation profile were identified in both extraventricular and intraventricular locations, demonstrating that anatomy-based definitions are inadequate for this tumour type. Clinical follow-up (median 33.2 months) showed predominantly lower grade behaviour, with occasional recurrence. Collectively, these findings support the view that tumours previously labelled as EVN do not represent a direct counterpart of central neurocytoma but instead constitute a molecularly and epigenetically distinct glioneuronal tumour type.

We have previously identified an increase in neuronal hnRNP K mislocalisation in cases of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) compared to controls, where loss of nuclear hnRNP K was linked to alternative splicing events. However, the broader distribution of hnRNP K mislocalisation across different brain regions, other diseases and its pathological significance remains unclear. This study systematically examined hnRNP K mislocalisation across 13 brain regions from 19 cases, including different pathological subtypes of FTLD, Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD) and age-matched neurologically normal controls, using immunohistochemistry and quantitative image analysis. The results of the study show that hnRNP K mislocalisation is observed throughout the brain, characterised by nuclear depletion and cytoplasmic aggregation. In the cerebral cortex, mislocalisation was most pronounced in the frontal lobe and least in the occipital lobe, with significant predominance in the depth of sulci compared to gyri. Notably, the basal ganglia, thalamus, medulla and cerebellum exhibited particular vulnerability to hnRNP K pathology. In contrast, Purkinje cells within the cerebellum and CA1-CA2 pyramidal neurons within the hippocampus showed lower levels of mislocalisation. Furthermore, levels of hnRNP K mislocalisation within the putamen correlated significantly with motor symptoms, suggesting a potential link between hnRNP K pathology and motor dysfunction. These findings highlight the propensity of hnRNP K mislocalisation in neurodegenerative diseases and the aged brain and underscore the need for further investigation into its functional consequences.</p>","PeriodicalId":19151,"journal":{"name":"Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology","volume":"52 2","pages":"e70072"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13062711/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147639399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
