Prognostic value of H3K27me3 in children with ependymoma.

In Chinese children, infratentorial ependymoma with incomplete resection and no adjuvant radiotherapy is associated with poor OS. On the other hand, low expression of H3K27me3 indicates poor prognosis of infratentorial ependymoma, but it has no significant prognostic value for supratentorial ependymoma. In addition, high expression of H3K27me3 in spinal ependymoma may indicate a better prognosis.
