Abstract

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a heterogeneous brain tumor entity from infancy through adulthood. ALK gene fusions enriched in congenital and infant GBM have emerged as druggable driver alterations. Understanding the molecular basis and prevalence of ALK gene rearrangements will help define patients with GBM who may benefit from ALK-targeted therapy.
