Targeted next‐generation sequencing of adult gliomas for retrospective prognostic evaluation and up‐front diagnostics

Abstract

Gene panel NGS proved feasible in daily diagnostics. In addition, our study confirms the prognostic role of glioma classification according to WHO 2016 in a large population-based cohort. Molecular features of glioblastoma in IDH-wildtype diffuse glioma were linked to poor survival corresponding to IDH-wildtype glioblastoma patients. The distinction between WHO grade II and III retained prognostic significance in patients with IDH-mutant diffuse astrocytic gliomas.
