Embryonal tumor with multilayered rosettes (ETMR), C19MC-altered was introduced to the World Health Organization classification of central nervous system tumors in 2016. It is characterized by amplification or fusion of the chromosome 19 microRNA cluster (C19MC) locus at 19q13.42. Medulloepithelioma also an ETMR but lacks C19MC alteration.
