HYPERMUTATION AND MALIGNANT PROGRESSION IN LOW-GRADE GLIOMA PATIENTS

While patients with primary glioblastoma (GBM) have benefited from increased overall survival due to treatment with the alkylating chemotherapy temozolomide (TMZ), the benefit ofTMZ for patients with diffuse low-grade gliomas (LGG) remains unknown. To further explore the relationships among TMZ treatment, hypermutation and malignant progression, we studied tumor evolution in an expanded cohort of untreated and TMZ-treated patients by exome-sequencing of paired IDH1/2-mutant LGGs and their post-TMZ recurrences. Together, these findings further our understanding of the molecular features and clinical behavior of hypermutated clones.

Dataset ID	Description	Technology	Samples
EGAD00001005386	113 DNA samples were derived from the tumors of the low grade glioma patients and sequenced using Illumina WES (exome seq) paired-end technology. Dataset contains 113 BAM files aligned to hg19 using BWA v.0.5.9. After mapping duplicated reads were removed, reads were re-aligned around InDels and read base quality score was re-calibrated.		-
EGAD00001005387	44 DNA samples were derived from the tumors of the low grade glioma patients and sequenced using Illumina RNAseq paired-end technology. Dataset contains 44 BAM files aligned to hg19 using Tophat 2.		-
