IDH mutations are rare events in SHH medulloblastoma
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Hotspot mutations in IDH1 or IDH2 have been discovered as a frequent oncogenic event in gliomas in 2009. According to the most recent version of the WHO classification of brain tumors from 2021, such mutations define what is now called astrocytoma, IDH-mutant and oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted. Approximately 85% of these mutations are IDH1:p.R132H mutations with other amino acid exchanges at codon 132 of IDH1 and codon 172 of IDH2 being rare. Of note, no other brain tumor entity has been reported so far to carry any recur-rent IDH mutations. Here, we describe a series of 12 medulloblastomas with four novel and eight previously published cases. Eight of these cases carry IDH1:p.R132C mutations, one of them harbors an IDH1 R132L and one of them an IDH2:p.R172M mutation. Patients have a mean age of 27 years (range: 6-50) and suffer all from medulloblastoma of the SHH type.
