Abstract

The article is devoted to the issue of molecular genetic diagnosis of cerebral glioblastomas. Despite significant advances in neurooncology, little progress has been made in prolonging the life of patients with cerebral glioblastoma, and a significant part of the effectiveness of treatment depends on the recognition of two prognostic biomarkers: mutations of the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) promoter and  the methylation of the O6-methylguanine methyl transferase (MGMT) promoter. The article summarizes the data of world and domestic clinical studies, allowing to supplement the histological characteristics of primary glioblastomas with genetic markers: the presence of the TERT mutation, EFGR amplification, loss of PTEN function, LOH 10q, and the presence of the BRAF mutation.

It should be noted that the amplification of EGFR, causing resistance to apoptotic stimuli and alkylating chemotherapy with Temozolomide, attracts much attention as a therapeutic target. The frequency of occurrence of the TERT mutation is 90% of all tumors of various genesis, most often the TERT mutation is found in oligodendroglioma or primary glioblastoma. Loss of heterozygosity in the region of localization of the PTEN gene is observed in many types of sporadic tumors, including more than 40% of glioblastomas. Mutations in this gene are found in tumors of the brain, endometrium, prostate, kidney, and mammary gland. The presence of a PTEN mutation is a poor prognostic factor.

LOH 22q is much more common in secondary glioblastomas (82%) than in primary glioblastomas (41%).

Among brain tumors, the BRAF mutation is most common with pleomorphic xanastrocytoma (60-70%).The BRAF V600E mutation was found in epithelioid glioblastoma, which is a rare and aggressive type of glioblastoma, characterized by an unfavorable prognosis (about 6 months) and frequent leptomeningeal spread.

Thus, knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis will enable a personalized approach to treatment with glioblastomas of the brain.
