Exploiting nanopore sequencing for characterization and grading of IDH-mutant gliomas.

ABSTRACT: The 2021 WHO Classification of Central Nervous System Tumors recommended evaluation of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A/B (CDKN2A/B) deletion in addition to codeletion of 1p/19q to characterize IDH-mutant gliomas. Here, we demonstrated the use of a nanopore-based copy-number variation sequencing (nCNV-seq) approach to simultaneously identify deletions of CDKN2A/B and 1p/19q. The nCNV-seq approach was initially evaluated on three distinct glioma cell lines and then applied to 19 IDH-mutant gliomas (8 astrocytomas and 11 oligodendrogliomas) from patients. The whole-arm 1p/19q codeletion was detected in all oligodendrogliomas with high concordance among nCNV-seq, FISH, DNA methylation profiling, and whole-genome sequencing. For the CDKN2A/B deletion, nCNV-seq detected the loss in both ast
