Certain tumor suppressor genes (TSG) residing on human chromosome 10q are implicated in astrocytic tumors. We thoroughly examined loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 10q in astrocytic tumors to determine the extent of deletion and their relation to prognostic variables of patients. We analyzed 63 astrocytic tumors, including 9 diffuse astrocytomas, 36 anaplastic astrocytomas, and 18 glioblastomas. DNAs from tumors and leukocytes were analyzed for LOH at 18 microsatellite loci by polymerase chain reaction using fluorescence-labeled primers. Then correlation between LOH and clinicopathological variables was examined statistically. Twenty-four (66.7%) anaplastic astrocytomas and 15 (83.3%) glioblastomas had at least one LOH on chromosome 10q. However, diffuse astrocytomas exhibited no LOH. Nineteen tumors (10 anaplastic astrocytomas and 9 glioblastomas) were believed to have a total loss of one chromosome 10. Analyses on 20 tumors with interstitial LOH revealed that most of the high LOH regions matched the location of known TSGs, while some novel LOH regions were found preferentially in anaplastic astrocytoma. The median survivals of the total, partial, and no loss groups were 10.1, 14.8, and 46.8 months, respectively, indicating a significant difference in the survivals of these groups (P=0.0289). Thus, analyzing chromosome 10q loss is helpful for diagnosing malignancy in astrocytic tumors and for predicting patients' survival. Our data also suggested that there are novel TSGs for anaplastic astrocytoma at 10q24 and 10q26.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D005909 Glioblastoma A malignant form of astrocytoma histologically characterized by pleomorphism of cells, nuclear atypia, microhemorrhage, and necrosis. They may arise in any region of the central nervous system, with a predilection for the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, and commissural pathways. Clinical presentation most frequently occurs in the fifth or sixth decade of life with focal neurologic signs or seizures.
