Conclusions

  • BRAF-and MYB-altered gliomas displayed high immune activation relative to other tumors.
  • IDH WT tumors have an immune suppressive microenvironment with relatively high immune checkpoint expression.
  • Based on predictive markers, BRAF-and MYB-driven gliomas show signatures suggesting the possibility of a greater response to immunotherapies than IDH WT/mutant gliomas or H3-3A mutant gliomas.
