Glioblastomas with a proneural expression signature are characterized by frequent IDH1 mutations (i.e. genetic hallmarks of secondary glioblastomas) andPDGFRA(platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α) amplification. Mutations inIDH1/2are frequent and early genetic events in diffuse astrocytomas (World Health Organization grade II), precursor to secondary glioblastomas, but little is known about the role and timing ofPDGFRAamplification in these tumors. We assessedPDGFRAgain in 342 low-grade diffuse gliomas by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Gain inPDGFRAwas detected in 27 (16.3%) of 166 diffuse astrocytomas, significantly more frequent than in oligodendrogliomas (3 [2.6%] of 115, p < 0.0001). Analyses using previously published data from our laboratory showed an inverse correlation betweenPDGFRAgain andIDH1/2mutations (p = 0.018) or 1p/19q loss (p < 0.0001). The vast majority of diffuse astrocytomas showedIDH1/2mutations and/orPDGFRAgain (154 [93%] of 166). Mean survival of diffuse astrocytoma patients withPDGFRAgain was 8.8 ± 1.6 years, similar to that withIDH1/2mutations (7.8 ± 0.5 years) or TP53 mutations (7.6 ± 0.6 years) but significantly longer than those with MET gain (4.4 ± 0.7 years). Dual-color fluorescence in situ hybridization in 6 diffuse astrocytomas withPDGFRA/MET co-gain identified by quantitative polymerase chain reaction revealed thatPDGFRAand MET were typically amplified in different tumor cell populations. Tumor cells with coamplification were also focally observed, suggesting intratumoral heterogeneity, even in diffuse astrocytomas.
