Molecular Diagnostics Code

Chromosomal or genetic markers associated with the brain tumour. This may involve selection of more than one value for each tumour, as it is a repeating data item.

This table was extensively discussed by the Brain CNS expert group and has been based on the 2016 WHO categories for Molecular Diagnostic Markers.
