Survey of familial glioma and role of germline p16 INK4A /p14 ARF and p53 mutation

There is increasing recognition of familial propensity to glioma as a distinct clinical entity beyond a few rare syndromes; however its genetic basis is poorly understood. The role of p16 ^sup ^sup INK4A^^ /p14 ^sup ^sup ARF^^ and p53 mutations in sporadic glioma provides a strong rationale for inve...

Summary:There is increasing recognition of familial propensity to glioma as a distinct clinical entity beyond a few rare syndromes; however its genetic basis is poorly understood. The role of p16 ^sup ^sup INK4A^^ /p14 ^sup ^sup ARF^^ and p53 mutations in sporadic glioma provides a strong rationale for investigating germline mutations in these genes as a cause of familial glioma. To survey the familial glioma phenotype and examine the contribution of germline mutation in p16 ^sup ^sup INK4A^^ /p14 ^sup ^sup ARF^^ and p53 to the disease we have analyzed a series of 101 index familial cases collected through the GLIOGENE Consortium (http://braintumor.epigenetic.org/). There was little evidence for within family correlations for tumour histology, suggesting generic susceptibility to glial tumors. We did not detect any functional mutations in p16 ^sup ^sup INK4A^^ or p14 ^sup ^sup ARF^^. One index case with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) diagnosed at age 54 and had a family history comprised of a paternal aunt with GBM at age 55, carried the p53 R158H mutation, which is predicted to be functional and has previously been implicated as a cause of Li-Fraumeni syndrome. Our findings provide no evidence that p16 ^sup ^sup INK4A^^ /p14 ^sup ^sup ARF^^ and p53 mutations contribute significantly to familial glioma.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT] Erratum DOI:
