Description
133 sonic-hedghog driven medulloblastomas were sequenced for alterations (WGS or WES). 60 cases exhibited PTCH1 mutations, most of which were likely loss-of-function (spread across the gene and of types including: stop gain, splice site, frameshift, etc.). Functional models also showed PTCH1 mutant xenografts to be sensitive to SHH inhibition with sonidegib.
