Project Summary/Abstract
Diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) are devastating brain tumors of childhood with no curative treatments. We and

others have observed up to 15% of all DMGs to harbor activating mutations in PPM1D which encodes the WIP1

protein phosphatase. Similar mutations are also observed in other cancers, including leukemias and…
