Q2. What is the way to diagnose gliomas?
Unsupervised clustering of mutations and data from RNA, DNA-copy-number, and DNA-methylation platforms uncovered concordant classification of three robust, nonoverlapping, prognostically significant subtypes of lower-grade glioma that were captured more accurately by IDH, 1p/19q, and TP53 status than by histologic class.
Q3. What is the name of the gliomas?
15-17 Lower-grade gliomas with both an IDH mutation (i.e., a mutation in either IDH1 or IDH2) and deletion of chromosome arms 1p and 19q (1p/19q codeletion), which occurs most often in oligodendrogliomas, have better responses to radiochemotherapy and are associated with longer survival than diffuse gliomas without these alterations.
Q4. What are the clinically relevant markers of lower grade gliomas?
Mutations in IDH, TP53, and ATRX and codeletion of chromosome arms 1p and 19q (1p/19q codeletion) have been implicated as clinically relevant markers of lowergrade gliomas.
Q5. What are the clinical outcomes of lower-grade gliomas?
The authors performed genomewide analyses of 293 lower-grade gliomas from adults, incorporating exome sequence, DNA copy number, DNA methylation, messenger RNA expression, microRNA expression, and targeted protein expression.
Q6. What is the current treatment for gliomas?
3-5 Current treatment varies with the extent of resection, histologic class, grade, and the results of ancillary testing and includes clinical monitoring, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, with salvage options available in the event of treatment failure.
Q7. What is the common type of glioma?
Nearly all lower-grade gliomas with IDH mutations and no 1p/19q codeletion had mutations in TP53 (94%) and ATRX inactivation (86%).
Q8. What is the way to describe gliomas?
The integration of genomewide data from multiple platforms delineated three molecular classes of lower-grade gliomas that were more concordant with IDH, 1p/19q, and TP53 status than with histologic class.
