10031-GGE-2 GENOMIC ANALYSIS OF MENINGIOMA USING GENE PANEL TESTING

Abstract

Abstract Recently, cancer gene panel tests have been covered by insurance and their usefulness has been reported. In addition to the cancer gene panel tests covered by insurance, we are conducting the PleSSision-Rapid test, a cancer gene panel test that can measure 143 genes, as a clinical research project. The former has been used for 14 cases brain tumors, and the latter has been used for brain tumors in about 100 cases, respectively. The PleSSision-Rapid test has now completed analysis of 87 cases, with gliomas accounting for 33, meningiomas for 29, and metastatic brain tumors for 14 cases. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) was high in 18 cases, and microsatellite instability was high in none. NTRK gene fusion was observed in 1 case. Of the 29 meningiomas, 9 were male and 20 female, ranging in age from 31 to 79 years (mean 57). Twenty of the cases were located at the skull base. Twenty four were primary cases, whereas 5 were recurrent cases. WHO grade 1, 2, and 3 were 23, 4, and 2, respectively. There was no difference in TMB among grades, and Ki-67 values increased with increasing grade. Comparing grade 1 and grade 2/3, NF2 and KDM6A were found to be significantly different in the rate of gene mutations. Grade 2/3 patients had a significantly higher frequency of copy number aberrations such as genes related to DNA repair, histone modification, and chromatin remodeling, than grade 1 patients,
