Dominant epigenomic themes in Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) are: a distinct methylation class tied to MAPK activation and CDKN2A/B loss, progressive promoter hypermethylation in anaplastic transformation, frequent MGMT promoter methylation, and a relative absence of the H3/ATRX-driven epigenetic programs seen in other glioma subtypes. | Dominant epigenomic themes in Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) are: a distinct methylation class tied to MAPK activation and CDKN2A/B loss, progressive promoter hypermethylation in anaplastic transformation, frequent MGMT promoter methylation, and a relative absence of the H3/ATRX-driven epigenetic programs seen in other glioma subtypes<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Martínez|first=Ramón|last2=Carmona|first2=F.
