"In a small subgroup of patients, MYCN-amplification is identified. This is a distinct tumour and is now recognised as a separate entity in the 5th edition (2021) of the WHO classification of CNS tumours 10."

Line 15:37 · Italics should be used only in exceptional circumstances: '<em>MYCN-</em>'

"Spinal ependymomas with MYCN-amplification are high-grade aggressive tumours, however, they are yet to be given a formal grade in the 5th edition (2021) of the WHO classification of CNS tumours 10."
