PG - 55-61 LID - S2210-7762(23)00054-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.cancergen.2023.08.005 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Either deletion or co-deletion of chromosomal arms 1p or 19q is a characteristic and early genetic event in oligodendroglial tumors that is associated with a better prognosis and enhanced response to therapy. Information of 1p/19q status is now regarded as the standard of care when managing oligodendroglial tumors for therapeutic options in anticipation of the increased survival and progression-free survival times associated with it. Keeping this in view, we first time attempted to establish the FISH based detection of 1p/19q deletion in glioma tissue samples to evaluate its role and involvement in the disease. METHOD: Overall 39 glioma cases of different histologies were evaluated by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique using specific FISH probes with Olympus BX43 fluorescent microscope to detect chromosomes 1p and 19q or co-deletions therein. RESULTS: Of the 39 glioma samples, overall 27 (69.2%) were found to have deletion either in 1p, 19q or both. Deletions were observed in 23.0%, 7.6% and 38.4% in 1p, 19q and 1p/19q co-deletions respectively. Overall oligidendrioglioma presented with 53.8% (21 of 39) deletions, astrocytoma group showed 12.8% and GBM accounted for 2.5% deletions. Overall survival and disease free survival was seen significantly better in oligidendrioglioma and astrocytoma with deleted tumors as compared to non-deleted ones (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Allelic losses on 1p and 19q, either discretely or shared, were more frequent in classic oligodendrogliomas than in either astrocytoma or Glioblastoma with better survival and response to therapy.
