Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 gene variants analysis of glioma patients from Pakistan

Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 gene variants analysis of glioma patients from Pakistan Various somatic isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) gene variants have been reported to drive lower‐grade gliomas and secondary glioblastomas. In the current study, we explored the IDH1 variants in the glioma biopsy samples of patients from Pakistan. We explored the incidence of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 gene variants by hotspot sequencing in 80 formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded tissues of different types of glioma biopsy samples. Structural modeling of the identified variants in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 protein was done to see their possible consequences. The frequently described p.Arg132 variants were not found in any of the glioma types.

These variants are affecting a part of the conserved domain in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1. Both of p.R100 and p.R109 variants are rare and described before, whereas the p.G136 variant identified in this study has never been described previously.

Abstract

Various somatic isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) gene variants have been reported to drive lower‐grade gliomas and secondary glioblastomas. In the current study, we explored the IDH1 variants in the glioma biopsy samples of patients from Pakistan. We explored the incidence of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 gene variants by hotspot sequencing in 80 formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded tissues of different types of glioma biopsy samples. Structural modeling of the identified variants in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 protein was done to see their possible consequences. The frequently described p.Arg132 variants were not found in any of the glioma types. However, in our study, we identified nonsynonymous variants at the residues p.R109 and p.G136 in astrocytomas and p.R100 in oligodendroglioma. These variants are affecting a part of the conserved domain in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1. Both of p.R100 and p.R109 variants are rare and described before, whereas the p.G136 variant identified in this study has never been described previously. Structural modeling showed that variants of these residues would directly affect the substrate binding and hence the enzyme activity.
