Mismatch repair proteins PMS2 and MLH1 can further refine molecular stratification of IDH-mutant lower grade astrocytomas

Description
Summary:The diagnostic role of Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation status in adult lower grade astrocytomas was first formally presented within the WHO Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System (2016). IDH-mutant astrocytomas are not as common as IDH-wildtype astrocytomas but are of better prognosis. Our previous study provided an evident that IDH-mutant lower grade astrocytomas is not a homogeneous group and could be further stratified by PDGFRA amplification, CDK4 amplification and CDKN2A deletion. In this study, we detected the expressions of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) proteins (PMS2, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6) and PD-L1 by immunohistochemistry in 147 IDH-mutant lower grade astrocytomas and explored their clinical relevance. The loss of was identified in 28.6%, 1.4%, 8.8% and 13.6%, respectively. PD-L1 expression was detected in 1.4% of this cohort. Survival analysis revealed that loss of PMS2 was correlated with shorter OS (p
