Methylation classifier scores of \u22650.90 to the HGAP class on the NCI-Bethesda classifier version 3 were included. Clinical features were collected from the medical record.

There were high rates of ATRX alteration (62%), CDKN2A\/B homozygous loss (78%) and MGMT promoter methylation (53%). MAPK alterations were identified in 74% of evaluable samples. The median age was 46 years, and posterior fossa location was predominant (52%). The median overall survival was 88 months. Older age (P\u2009=\u2009.01) and the presence of an ATRX alteration (P\u2009=\u2009.04) were found to be negative prognostic factors. The presence of cystic features on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was found to be favorably prognostic (P\u2009=\u2009.01). Factors that were not significantly associated with prognosis included histologic high-grade features, CDKN2A\/B homozygous deletion, MGMT promoter methylation, extent of resection, and presence of NF1 syndrome.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This large cohort establishes relative frequencies of several important markers.
