Abstract

This multi-institutional, natural language processing-based analysis of 273 children with neurofibromatosis 1-associated optic pathway gliomas examines the impact of ancestral background on clinical presentation and progression. We report that White children had a greater prevalence of optic pathway glioma than Black or Asian children, but clinical features and outcomes did not differ across groups.
