Inactivating mutations in the transcriptional repression factor <i>Capicua</i> (<i>CIC</i>) occur in approximately 50% of human oligodendrogliomas, but mechanistic links to pathogenesis are unclear. To address this question, we generated <i>Cic</i>-deficient mice and human oligodendroglioma cell models. Genetic deficiency in mice resulted in a partially penetrant embryonic or perinatal lethal phenotype, with the production of an aberrant proliferative neural population in surviving animals. <i>I ...[more]
