**Infantile, p53 wildtype: Usu. desmoplastic/nodular, 10q loss.
**SHH-p53 mutant: Usu. large cell/anaplastic, 17q loss.
*Non WNT/Non SHH:
**Group 3 (approx. 20%).
***Classic and large cell/anaplastic, MYC amplification, isochromosome 17q.
**Group 4 (approx. 40%).
***Classic phenotype, MYCN amplification, isodicentric 17q.
Note: Within Group 3+4 two or more of chromosome 7 gain, chromo­some 8 loss, and chromosome 11 loss separates standard risk medulloblastoma samples into favorable and classifies the remaining i17q diploid cases as high-risk.

*More than 90% are solitary.
===Prognosis===
*Most are benign - usu. a good prognosis.
**Even benign tumors may show extensive local spread - considerable morbidity and mortality.
**Metastases are rare and then usu. after surgery.
*May be malignant - bad prognosis.
