Recurrent TCF12 mutations in anaplastic oligodendroglioma

ABSTRACT: A Cartes d'Identite des Tumeurs (CIT) project from the french Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer (http://cit.ligue-cancer.net: Anaplastic oligodendrogliomas (AOs) are rare primary brain tumors which are generally incurable with few treatment targets identified. Most oligodendrogliomas have chromosome 1p/19q co-deletion and IDH mutation. We analyzed 51 AOs by whole-exome and/or transcriptome sequencing identifying previously reported frequent somatic mutations in CIC and FUBP1 genes. We also identified recurrent mutations in TCF12 (11% of IDHmut-codel) which encodes basic helix-loop-helix (bHLFH) transcription factor 12 which is an oligodendrocyte-related transcription factor in IDHmut-codel tumors. Strikingly, the somatic mutations (encoding E548R and R602M substitutions) have not been repor
