Narrowing down the Common Cytogenetic Deletion 14q to a 5.6-Mb Critical Region in 1p/19q Codeletion Oligodendroglioma-Relapsed Patients Points to Two Potential Relapse-Related Genes:SEL1LandSTON2

摘要

Based on a literature review and our database, we report on the smallest 14q deletion identified in a brain tumor characterized by 1p/19q codeletion low-grade oligodendroglioma. In 2013, array-comparative genomic hybridization of the brain tumor revealed 1p/19q codeletion as a sole abnormality. In 2019, the patient relapsed showing additional abnormalities including a 14q deletion of 16.5 Mb at 14q24.2q31.3. This region overlaps with 2 previously identified minimal regions, 14q21.2q24.3 and 14q31.3q32.1, based on 142 cases of glioma. The authors reported no correlation between these 2 regions and survival. By extracting these 2 regions from our patient's deletion and comparing it to 12 other cases of 1p/19q codeletion oligodendrogliomas reported in the literature, we narrowed down the 14q loss possible critical region to 5.6 Mb mapping at 14q31.1q31.2. This region contains 2 potential relapse-related genes:SEL1LandSTON2.
