IDH1 mutation is detectable in plasma cell-free DNA and is associated with survival outcome in glioma patients

Abstract Background Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA, liquid biopsy) is a powerful tool to detect molecular alterations. However, depending on tumor characteristics, biology and anatomic localization, cfDNA detection and analysis may be challenging. Gliomas are enclosed into an anatomic sanctuary, w...

description Abstract Background Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA, liquid biopsy) is a powerful tool to detect molecular alterations. However, depending on tumor characteristics, biology and anatomic localization, cfDNA detection and analysis may be challenging. Gliomas are enclosed into an anatomic sanctuary, which obstacles the release of cfDNA into the peripheral blood. Therefore, the advantages of using liquid biopsy for brain tumors is still to be confirmed. The present study evaluates the ability of liquid biopsy to detect IDH1 mutations and its correlation with survival and clinical characteristics of glioma patients. Methods Blood samples obtained from glioma patients were collected after surgery prior to the adjuvant therapy. cfDNA was extracted from plasma and IDH1 p.R132H mutation analysis was performed on a digital droplet PCR. χ2-test and Cohen k were used to assess the correlation between plasma and tissue IDH1 status, while Kaplan Meier curve and Cox regression analysis were applied to survival analysis. Statistical calculations were performed by MedCalc and GraphPad Prism software. Results A total of 67 samples were collected. A concordance between IDH1 status in tissue and in plasma was found (p = 0.0024), and the presence of the IDH1 mutation both in tissue (138.8 months vs 24.4, p < 0.0001) and cfDNA (116.3 months vs 35.8, p = 0.016) was associated with longer median OS. A significant association between IDH1 mutation both in tissue and cfDNA, age, tumor grade and OS was demonstrated by univariate Cox regression analysis. No statistically significant association between IDH1 mutation and tumor grade was found (p = 0.10). Conclusions The present study demonstrates that liquid biopsy may be used in brain tumors to detect IDH1 mutation which represents an important prognostic biomarker in patients with different types of gliomas, being associated to OS.
