  1. Formalin fixed paraffin embedded pediatric glioma tumor tissue (n = 50) and normal brainstem tissue specimens (n = 3) were submitted for immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis. Gender, age, tumor anatomical location and WHO-grade of analyzed specimens are summarized. Number in parentheses indicate percentage of total cohort
