    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: To investigate the correlations between mutations in the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) 1 and 2 mutations or 1p/19q deletion in human gliomas. METHODS: TERT promoter gene and IDH gene mutations in 110 glioma specimens were evaluated using first generation Sanger sequencing. The 1p/19q status was determined with fluorescence in situ hybridization. The relationship between TERT promoter mutations and IDH gene mutations as well as 1p/19q deletion was analyzed using the χ2 test and Spearman rank correlation test. RESULTS: The TERT promoter mutation rate in 110 glioma specimens was 39.09% (43/110), with a rate of 32.56% (14/43) for C228T mutation and 67.44% (29/43) for C250T mutation. The IDH gene mutation rate in all specimens was 31.82% (35/110), with a rate of 52.78% (19/36) in low-grade gliomas and 21.62% (16/74) in high grade gliomas. The 1p/19q deletion rate was 28.18% (31/110) in all specimens. Correlation analysis revealed that TERT promoter mutation was positively correlated with 1p/19q deletion (relative precision (rp) = 0.244, P = .015). In lower-grade glioma with IDH mutation, TERT promoter mutation was positively correlated with 1p/19q deletion (rp = 0.856, P = .000). The prognosis for gliomas with IDH mutation/TERT mutation/1p/19qdeletion was good. Mutation of the TERT promoter was negatively correlated with IDH gene mutation (rp = -0.290, P = .004), except in 10 cases of oligodendroglioma and 1 case of anaplastic oligodendroglioma. CONCLUSION: There may be a complex inter-regulatory relationship between the mutations of the TERT promoter and IDH gene as well as 1p/19q abnormalities in human gliomas.
