Abstract

Medulloblastoma (MB) is one of the most aggressive pediatric brain tumor. We report genome-wide pooled-analysis of classic MB variant of patients over 3 years of age at diagnosis. We combined array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) results from experimental analysis (31 cases) with two public databases (55 cases) in a final evaluation of 86 MBs. The most common chromosome structural aberrations were gains of 17q (45.3%), 1q (22.1%), and losses of 8p (15.1%), 10q (19.8%), 17p (37.2%), and 16q (16.3%). Isochromome (17q) was observed in 29.1% MBs. A significant association between poor patients survival and losses of 9q (p < 0.0023), 10q (p < 0.012), and 16q (p < 0.036) was observed. Univariate analysis showed association of 9q loss (p < 0.008) and 16q loss (p = 0.05) with adverse overall survival (OS). Chromosome 6 monosomy was a protective event although statistically borderline (p = 0.066). After adjusting for confounding factors, a poor OS was found for patients whose tumor has 9q loss [hazard ratio (HR) = 3.97; p < 0.006) or 16q loss (HR = 2.41; p = 0.038). Our results highlight the importance of genomic studies in different MB histological variants and indicate a genotype-phenotype correlation.
