BRAF non-V600E more frequently co-occurs with IDH1/2 mutations in adult patients with gliomas than in patients harboring BRAF V600E but without a survival advantage

Abstract Background The effects of BRAF non-V600E and BRAF V600E on the outcomes and the molecular characteristics of adult glioma patients are unknown and need to be explored, although BRAF V600E has been extensively studied in pediatric glioma.

description Abstract Background The effects of BRAF non-V600E and BRAF V600E on the outcomes and the molecular characteristics of adult glioma patients are unknown and need to be explored, although BRAF V600E has been extensively studied in pediatric glioma. Methods Co-occurring mutations and copy number alterations of associated genes in the MAPK and p53 pathways were investigated using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) public database retrieved by cBioPortal. The prognosis of available adult glioma cohorts with BRAF V600E and BRAF non-V600E mutations were also investigated. Results Ninety patients with BRAF V600E or BRAF non-V600E were enrolled in this study, and data from 52 nonredundant patients were investigated. Glioblastoma multiform was the most common cancer type, with BRAF non-V600E and BRAF V600E. TP53 (56.00% vs. 7.41%), IDH1/2 (36.00% vs. 3.70%), and ATRX (32.00% vs. 7.41%) exhibited more mutations in BRAF non-V600E than in BRAF V600E, and TP53 was an independent risk factor (56.00% vs. 7.41%). Both BRAF non-V600E and BRAF V600E frequently overlapped with CDKN2A/2B homozygous deletions (HDs), but there was no significant difference. Survival analysis showed no difference between the BRAF non-V600E and BRAF V600E cohorts, even after excluding the survival benefit of IDH1/2 mutations and considering the BRAF non-V600E mutations in the glycine-rich loop (G-loop) and in the activation segment. The estimated mean survival of patients with BRAF non-V600E & IDH1/2 WT with mutations in the G-loop groups was the shortest. Conclusions BRAF non-V600E exhibited a stronger association with IDH1/2 mutations than BRAF V600E, but no survival advantage was found.
