✦ Synopsis

Loss of heterozygosity for chromosome 22 (LOH 22) occurs in gliomas of all malignancy grades. Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) patients are at increased risk of developing a glioma. However, the NF2 gene in 22q12.2 is not involved in glioma tumorigenesis. To detect additional regions on chromosome 22 that may harbor tumor suppressor genes important in glioma tumorigenesis, we determined LOH 22 profiles for 159 gliomas using 32 markers. LOH 22 was found in 46 tumors (29%). Thirteen tumors displayed partial LOH 22, from which we deduced a region of common deletion between markers D22S928 and D22S1169 in 22q13.3. LOH of at least this region was detected in 13% of the astrocytomas (As), in 20% of the anaplastic astrocytomas (AAs) and in 35% of the glioblastomas multiforme (GBMs). The significant increased frequency of LOH 22q13.3 in the highest malignancy grade (GBM vs. A and AA, p ‫؍‬ 0.02) indicates that loss of this region is associated with astrocytoma progression. Int.

Allelic loss on chromosome 10 is a frequent event in high grade gliomas. Earlier studies have shown that in most cases a complete copy of chromosome 10 is lost in the tumor. To define more accurately and specifically the region of common deletion on chromosome arm 10p, we have screened a large serie
