Brief Summary: RATIONALE Genetic studies may help in understanding the genetic processes involved in the development of some types of cancer

PURPOSE Genetic study to understand how genes may be involved in the development of brain tumors in young children
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the frequency and type of deletions and mutations of the INI1 gene in infants with embryonal central nervous system tumors
Compare the gene expression profiles in infants with atypical teratoidrhabdoid tumors vs medulloblastoma or primitive neuroectodermal tumor

OUTLINE This is a multicenter study

Tumor samples are analyzed by fluorescence in situ hybridization FISH for deletions of INI1 gene in chromosome band 22q112 Tumors without demonstration of deletions of INI1 gene by FISH are examined by polymerase chain reaction PCR-based microsatellite analysis for loss of heterozygosity using markers that map to 22q112

DNA from tumor tissue is analyzed for mutations in the exons of the INI1 gene Isolated matched normal DNA may be analyzed for identification of germline mutations Parental DNA may be analyzed to identify inherited germline mutations of the INI1 gene

The patients physician may receive the results of the genetic testing The results do not influence the type or duration of treatment

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 50 patients will be accrued for this study within 25 months
