Abstract

Glioblastomas are morphologically and genetically heterogeneous, but little is known about the regional patterns of genomic imbalance within glioblastomas. We recently established a reliable whole genome amplification (WGA) method to randomly amplify DNA from paraffin‐embedded histological sections with minimum amplification bias [Huang et al (J Mol Diagn 11: 109–116, 2009)]. In this study, chromosomal imbalance was assessed by array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH; Agilent 105K, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA), using WGA‐DNA from two to five separate tumor areas of 14 primary glioblastomas (total, 41 tumor areas). Chromosomal imbalances significantly differed among glioblastomas; the only alterations that were observed in ≥6 cases were loss of chromosome 10q, gain at 7p and loss of 10p. Genetic alterations common to all areas analyzed within a single tumor included gains at 1q32.1 (PIK3C2B, MDM4), 4q11–q12 (KIT, PDGFRA), 7p12.1–11.2 (EGFR), 12q13.3–12q14.1 (GLI1, CDK4) and 12q15 (MDM2), and loss at 9p21.1–24.3 (p16 INK4a/p14 ARF), 10p15.3–q26.3 (PTEN, etc.) and 13q12.11–q34 (SPRY2, RB1). These are likely to be causative in the pathogenesis of glioblastomas (driver mutations). In addition, there were numerous tumor area‐specific genomic imbalances, which may be either nonfunctional (passenger mutations) or functional, but constitute secondary events reflecting progressive genomic instability, a hallmark of glioblastomas.

  • Array comparative genome hybridization and WGA-DNA from two to five separate tumor areas of 14 glioblastomas demonstrated common genetic alterations including amplifications in 1q32.1 and 12q15, which contain MDM4 and MDM2.

    “An assessment of chromosomal imbalance using array comparative genome hybridization and WGA-DNA from two to five separate tumor areas of 14 GBMs demonstrated that there was a list of genetic alterations that were common to all tumor areas, including amplifications in 1q32.1 and 12q15, which contain MDM4 and MDM2 [42].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
