Abstract: Previously CNS tumors were classified on the basis of 2007 WHO classification according to which CNS tumors were defined only on the basis of histology. According to 2016 WHO classification, CNS tumors are now defined on the basis of molecular parameters in addition to histology [1]. Low grade gliomas (WHO grade II and III gliomas) are classified into subtypes according to 2016 classification on the basis of IDH mutation and 1p/19q codeletion molecular status. Those low-grade gliomas which shows IDH mutation and 1p/19q codeletion on molecular analysis are labelled as oligodendroglioma, low grade gliomas which shows IDH mutation and intact 1p/19q are labelled as astrocytoma (IDH mutant) and low-grade gliomas in which there is no IDH mutation will be labelled as astrocytoma (IDH wildtype).
