Diagnostic accuracy of 1p/19q codeletion tests in oligodendroglioma: A comprehensive meta-analysis based on a Cochrane systematic review. Neuropathol Appl Neurobiol 2022; 48:e12790. [PMID: 34958131 PMCID: PMC9208578 DOI: 10.1111/nan.12790] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2021] [Revised: 11/23/2021] [Accepted: 11/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Codeletion of chromosomal arms 1p and 19q, in conjunction with a mutation in the isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 or 2 gene, is the molecular diagnostic criterion for oligodendroglioma, IDH mutant and 1p/19q codeleted. 1p/19q codeletion is a diagnostic marker and allows prognostication and prediction of the best drug response within IDH-mutant tumours. We performed a Cochrane review and simple economic analysis to establish the most sensitive, specific and cost-effective techniques for determining 1p/19q codeletion status. Fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based loss of heterozygosity (LOH) test methods were considered as reference standard. Most techniques (FISH, chromogenic in situ hybridisation [CISH], PCR, real-time PCR, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification [MLPA], single nucleotide polymorphism [SNP] array, comparative genomic hybridisation [CGH], array CGH, next-generation sequencing [NGS], mass spectrometry and NanoString) showed good sensitivity (few false negatives) for detection of 1p/19q codeletions in glioma, irrespective of whether FISH or PCR-based LOH was used as the reference standard. Both NGS and SNP array had a high specificity (fewer false positives) for 1p/19q codeletion when considered against FISH as the reference standard. Our findings suggest that G banding is not a suitable test for 1p/19q analysis. Within these limits, considering cost per diagnosis and using FISH as a reference, MLPA was marginally more cost-effective than other tests, although these economic analyses were limited by the range of available parameters, time horizon and data from multiple healthcare organisations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Complete deletion of both the short arm of chromosome 1 (1p) and the long arm of chromosome 19 (19q), known as 1p/19q codeletion, is a mutation that can occur in gliomas. It occurs in a type of glioma known as oligodendroglioma and its higher grade counterpart known as anaplastic oligodendroglioma. Detection of 1p/19q codeletion in gliomas is important because, together with another mutation in an enzyme known as isocitrate dehydrogenase, it is needed to make the diagnosis of an oligodendroglioma. Presence of 1p/19q codeletion also informs patient prognosis and prediction of the best drug treatment. The main two tests in use are fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based loss of heterozygosity (LOH) assays (also known as PCR-based short tandem repeat or microsatellite analysis). Many other tests are available. None of the tests is perfect, although PCR-based LOH is expected to have very high sensitivity. OBJECTIVES To estimate the sensitivity and specificity and cost-effectiveness of different deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-based techniques for determining 1p/19q codeletion status in glioma. SEARCH METHODS We searched MEDLINE, Embase and BIOSIS up to July 2019. There were no restrictions based on language or date of publication. We sought economic evaluation studies from the results of this search and using the National Health Service Economic Evaluation Database. SELECTION CRITERIA We included cross-sectional studies in adults with glioma or any subtype of glioma, presenting raw data or cross-tabulations of two or more DNA-based tests for 1p/19q codeletion. We also sought economic evaluations of these tests. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We followed procedures outlined in the Cochrane Handbook for Diagnostic Test Accuracy Reviews. Two review authors independently screened titles/abstracts/full texts, performed data extraction, and undertook applicability and risk of bias assessments using QUADAS-2. Meta-analyses used the hierarchical summary ROC model to estimate and compare test accuracy. We used FISH and PCR-based LOH as alternate reference standards to examine how tests compared with those in common use, and conducted a latent class analysis comparing FISH and PCR-based LOH. We constructed an economic model to evaluate cost-effectiveness. MAIN RESULTS We included 53 studies examining: PCR-based LOH, FISH, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array, next-generation sequencing (NGS), comparative genomic hybridisation (CGH), array comparative genomic hybridisation (aCGH), multiplex-ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), real-time PCR, chromogenic in situ hybridisation (CISH), mass spectrometry (MS), restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis, G-banding, methylation array and NanoString. Risk of bias was low for only one study; most gave us concerns about how patients were selected or about missing data. We had applicability concerns about many of the studies because only patients with specific subtypes of glioma were included. 1520 participants contributed to analyses using FISH as the reference, 1304 participants to analyses involving PCR-based LOH as the reference and 262 participants to analyses of comparisons between methods from studies not including FISH or PCR-based LOH. Most evidence was available for comparison of FISH with PCR-based LOH (15 studies, 915 participants): PCR-based LOH detected 94% of FISH-determined codeletions (95% credible interval (CrI) 83% to 98%) and FISH detected 91% of codeletions determined by PCR-based LOH (CrI 78% to 97%). Of tumours determined not to have a deletion by FISH, 94% (CrI 87% to 98%) had a deletion detected by PCR-based LOH, and of those determined not to have a deletion by PCR-based LOH, 96% (CrI 90% to 99%) had a deletion detected by FISH. The latent class analysis suggested that PCR-based LOH may be slightly more accurate than FISH. Most other techniques appeared to have high sensitivity (i.e. produced few false-negative results) for detection of 1p/19q codeletion when either FISH or PCR-based LOH was considered as the reference standard, although there was limited evidence. There was some indication of differences in specificity (false-positive rate) with some techniques. Both NGS and SNP array had high specificity when considered against FISH as the reference standard (NGS: 6 studies, 243 participants; SNP: 6 studies, 111 participants), although we rated certainty in the evidence as low or very low. NGS and SNP array also had high specificity when PCR-based LOH was considered the reference standard, although with much more uncertainty as these results were based on fewer studies (just one study with 49 participants for NGS and two studies with 33 participants for SNP array). G-banding had low sensitivity and specificity when PCR-based LOH was the reference standard. Although MS had very high sensitivity and specificity when both FISH and PCR-based LOH were considered the reference standard, these results were based on only one study with a small number of participants. Real-time PCR also showed high specificity with FISH as a reference standard, although there were only two studies including 40 participants. We found no relevant economic evaluations. Our economic model using FISH as the reference standard suggested that the resource-optimising test depends on which measure of diagnostic accuracy is most important. With FISH as the reference standard, MLPA is likely to be cost-effective if society was willing to pay GBP 1000 or less for a true positive detected. However, as the value placed on a true positive increased, CISH was most cost-effective. Findings differed when the outcome measure changed to either true negative detected or correct diagnosis. When PCR-based LOH was used as the reference standard, MLPA was likely to be cost-effective for all measures of diagnostic accuracy at lower threshold values for willingness to pay. However, as the threshold values increased, none of the tests were clearly more likely to be considered cost-effective. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS In our review, most techniques (except G-banding) appeared to have good sensitivity (few false negatives) for detection of 1p/19q codeletions in glioma against both FISH and PCR-based LOH as a reference standard. However, we judged the certainty of the evidence low or very low for all the tests. There are possible differences in specificity, with both NGS and SNP array having high specificity (fewer false positives) for 1p/19q codeletion when considered against FISH as the reference standard. The economic analysis should be interpreted with caution due to the small number of studies.

Predicting chromosome 1p/19q codeletion by RNA expression profile: a comparison of current prediction models. Aging (Albany NY) 2020; 11:974-985. [PMID: 30710490 PMCID: PMC6382420 DOI: 10.18632/aging.101795] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2018] [Accepted: 01/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chromosome 1p/19q codeletion is increasingly being recognized as the crucial genetic marker for glioma patients and have been included in WHO classification of glioma in 2016. Fluorescent in situ hybridization, a widely used method in detecting 1p/19q status, has some methodological limitations which might influence the clinical management for doctors. Here, we attempted to explore an RNA sequencing computational method to detect 1p/19q status. METHODS We included 692 samples with 1p/19q status information from TCGA cohort as training set and 222 samples with 1p/19q status information from REMBRANDT cohort as validation set. We reviewed and compared five tools: TSPairs, GSVA, PAM, Caret, smoother, with respect to their accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. RESULTS In TCGA cohort, the GSVA method showed the highest accuracy (98.4%) in predicting 1p/19q status (sensitivity=95.5%, specificity=99.6%) and smoother method showed the second-highest accuracy (accuracy=97.8%, sensitivity=96.4%, specificity=98.3%). While in REMBRANDT cohort, smoother method exhibited the highest accuracy (98.6%) (sensitivity= 96.7%, specificity=98.9%) in 1p/19q status prediction. CONCLUSIONS Our independent assessment of five tools revealed that smoother method was selected as the most stable and accurate method in predicting 1p/19q status. This method could be regarded as a potential alternative method for clinical practice in future.

[PMID: 28030632 PMCID: PMC5193469 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0168728] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2016] [Accepted: 12/05/2016] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective To study the feasibility and the diagnostic and prognostic interest of automated analysis of 1p, 19q, 9p and 10q status by FISH technique in oligodendroglial tumors. Methods We analyzed a retrospective series of 33 consecutive gliomas with oligodendroglial histology (originally diagnosed as 24 oligodendrogliomas and 9 oligoastrocytomas). For all cases, automated FISH analysis of 1p, 19q, 9p and 10q status were performed and compared to clinical and histological data, ATRX, IDH1R132H and alpha-internexin status (studied by immunohistochemistry) and overall survival (OS). Manual analysis of 9p and 10q status were also performed and compared to automated analysis to verify the concordance of the two methods. Results The 33 gliomas were reclassified into 13 low-grade oligodendrogliomas (OII), 10 anaplastic oligodendrogliomas (OIII), 3 diffuse astrocytomas (AII), 3 anaplastic astrocytomas (AIII) and 4 glioblastomas (GBM) according to the WHO 2016 histological criteria. The 1p and/or 19q imbalanced status were restricted to astrocytomas with no correlation to their grade or their OS. Chromosome 9p deletion was restricted to OIII (70%) and GBM (100%) and was correlated with a shorter OS in the total cohort (p = 0.0007), the oligodendroglioma cohort (p = 0.03) and the astrocytoma cohort (p = 0.001). Concordance between 9p manual and automated analysis was satisfactory (81%, κ = 0.69). Chromosome 10q deletion was restricted to GBMs (50%) and was correlated with a poor OS in both the total cohort (p = 0.003) and the astrocytoma (AS) cohort (p = 0.04). Concordance between manual and automated analysis was satisfactory (79%, κ = 0.62). Conclusion Automated analysis of 1p, 19q, 9p and 10q status by FISH is a reliable technique which allows for refined classification of oligodendroglial tumors. 1p and/or 19q imbalanced status is evidence of astrocytic differentiation. 9p deletion is found in high grade oligodendrogliomas and astrocytomas with a poor OS. 10q is related to GBM status and a poor OS.

Abstract
Objective To propose a new algorithm facilitating automated analysis of 1p and 19q status by FISH technique in oligodendroglial tumors with software packages available in the majority of institutions using this technique. Methods We documented all green/red (G/R) probe signal combinations in a retrospective series of 53 oligodendroglial tumors according to literature guidelines (Algorithm 1) and selected only the most significant combinations for a new algorithm (Algorithm 2). This second algorithm was then validated on a prospective internal series of 45 oligodendroglial tumors and on an external series of 36 gliomas. Results Algorithm 2 utilizes 24 G/R combinations which represent less than 40% of combinations observed with Algorithm 1. The new algorithm excludes some common G/R combinations (1/1, 3/2) and redefines the place of others (defining 1/2 as compatible with normal and 3/3, 4/4 and 5/5 as compatible with imbalanced chromosomal status). The new algorithm uses the combination + ratio method of signal probe analysis to give the best concordance between manual and automated analysis on samples of 100 tumor cells (91% concordance for 1p and 89% concordance for 19q) and full concordance on samples of 200 tumor cells. This highlights the value of automated analysis as a means to identify cases in which a larger number of tumor cells should be studied by manual analysis. Validation of this algorithm on a second series from another institution showed a satisfactory concordance (89%, κ = 0.8). Conclusion Our algorithm can be easily implemented on all existing FISH analysis software platforms and should facilitate multicentric evaluation and standardization of 1p/19q assessment in gliomas with reduction of the professional and technical time required.

Abstract
Objective To develop a new ImmunoFISH technique for the study of oligodendrogliomas by combining a standard immunohistochemical stain using MIB-1 antibody with a standard FISH technique using commercial 1p36 and 19q13 chromosomal probes. Methods Validation was performed by two observers on a series of 36 pre-selected oligodendrogliomas and compared to the results previously determined by FISH alone. Results The ImFISH technique is easy to perform and to analyze and is no more time-consuming than the usual FISH technique. Our results show that the inter-observer reliability of ImFISH is high (κ = 0.86 and 0.95 respectively for 1p and 19q). Compared to FISH, the ImFISH exhibits a very high sensitivity (∼100%) and specificity (∼90%) for 1p and/or 19q deleted cases. The sensitivity is high for normal cases (∼85%) and imbalanced cases (∼90%) with a specificity ranging between 50 and 85%. Finally, there were no significant differences between FISH and ImFISH results calculated on 60, 40 or 20 cells. Conclusion Our study demonstrates the reliability of the ImFISH technique in oligodendrogliomas and emphasizes its advantage in poorly cellular tumoral specimen.

Abstract
The chromosome (chr) 1p deletion is a favorable biomarker in oligodendroglial tumors and is even more powerful a marker when combined with chr 19q loss. As a result, the 1p deletion is taken into account more and more in clinical trials and the management of patients. However, the laboratory technique implemented for detection of this biomarker has been a topic of debate. To illustrate the usefulness of evaluating multiple loci, we here report two anaplastic oligodendrogliomas that were investigated using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)-array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). Indeed, segmental analysis using FISH, limited to chr 1p36 was unable to discriminate between complete and partial deletions of chrs 1p. However, complete and partial deletions of 1p are reported to have distinct clinical outcomes. Our results illustrate that aCGH (or other multiple loci technologies) provide complementary information to single locus technologies such as FISH because multiple loci technologies can evaluate the extent of the chr 1p deletion.

Abstract
Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis is a molecular technique allowing the detection of recurrent translocations in cancer. Several hybridization protocols were assayed in order to evaluate their performances for interphase FISH analysis of histological sections and imprints using split probes. Adult and foetal lymphoid tissues were selected. Touch imprints of fresh (EF) or frozen (EC) tissues, sections (CF) and isolated nuclei (NI) of formol-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues were performed. The cut-off values of the IGH, IGlambda, BCL-2, BCL-6, CCND1 and MYC DNA FISH split signal probes were calculated for adult reactive lymph nodes on the different histological preparations (EC, CF, CC, NI) and on several tissues for the IGH and BCL-6 probes. In reactive lymph nodes, the cut-off values of the probes were between 3 and 13% and found independent of the preparation type. Conversely, slight but significant variations of the cut-off level were observed when different foetal control tissues were assayed with the same probe set. Finally, this study provided optimized-protocols for FISH analysis of either fresh/frozen imprints or formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections using split signal DNA probes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the quest for novel molecular mediators of glioma progression, we studied the regulation of FBXW7 (hCDC4/hAGO/SEL10), its association with survival of patients with glioblastoma and its potential role as a tumor suppressor gene in glioma cells. The F-box protein Fbxw7 is a component of SCFFbxw7, a Skp1-Cul1-F-box E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that tags specific proteins for proteasome degradation. FBXW7 is mutated in several human cancers and functions as a haploinsufficient tumor suppressor in mice. Any of the identified targets, Cyclin E, c-Myc, c-Jun, Notch1/4 and Aurora-A may have oncogenic properties when accumulated in tumors with FBXW7 loss. RESULTS We tested the expression of FBXW7 in human glioma biopsies by quantitative PCR and compared the transcript levels of grade IV glioma (glioblastoma, G-IV) with those of grade II tumors (G-II). In more than 80% G-IV, expression of FBXW7 was significantly reduced. In addition, levels of FBXW7 were correlated with survival indicating a possible implication in tumor aggressiveness. Locus 4q31.3 which carries FBXW7 was investigated by in situ hybridization on biopsy touchprints. This excluded allelic loss as the principal cause for low expression of FBXW7 in G-IV tumors. Two targets of Fbxw7, Aurora-A and Notch4 were preferentially immunodetected in G-IV biopsies. Next, we investigated the effects of FBXW7 misregulation in glioma cells. U87 cells overexpressing nuclear isoforms of Fbxw7 lose the expression of the proliferation markers PCNA and Ki-67, and get counterselected in vitro. This observation fits well with the hypothesis that Fbxw7 functions as a tumor suppressor in astroglial cells. Finally, FBXW7 knockdown in U87 cells leads to defects in mitosis that may promote aneuploidy in progressing glioma. CONCLUSION Our results show that FBXW7 expression is a prognostic marker for patients with glioblastoma. We suggest that loss of FBXW7 plays an important role in glioma malignancy by allowing the accumulation of multiple oncoproteins and that interfering with Fbxw7 or its downstream targets would constitute a new therapeutic advance.

Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization is more sensitive than BIOMED-2 polymerase chain reaction protocol in detecting IGH-BCL2 rearrangement in both fixed and frozen lymph node with follicular lymphoma. Hum Pathol 2006; 38:365-72. [PMID: 17134735 DOI: 10.1016/j.humpath.2006.08.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2006] [Revised: 08/22/2006] [Accepted: 08/23/2006] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
The detection of t(14;18)(q32;q21) is advisable for the diagnosis of follicular lymphoma (FL). In 51 patients with FL, we evaluated the applicability and sensitivity of interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using commercially available reagents. In 23 patients, only a formalin-fixed lymph node was available. In 28 patients, both frozen and formalin-fixed lymph nodes were evaluated. Fluorescence in situ hybridization was found to be 100% applicable whatever the material type. With the use of IGH-BCL2 dual-fusion, dual-color probes, t(14;18) translocation was detected in 47 (92%) of 51 FL cases with concordant results between isolated nuclei (n = 41) and frozen cytologic imprints (n = 28). Twenty-two IGH-BCL2-positive cases were also studied on fixed sections with BCL2 split signal probes showing a BCL2 split in all. Conversely, no BCL2 split was observed in IGH-BCL2-negative cases (n = 4). Owing to DNA degradation as assessed by the failure of control genes amplification, the applicability of PCR was found to be 76% in fixed lymph nodes (n = 51). After exclusion of the 12 noninformative cases, the BIOMED-2 protocol allowed the detection of an IGH-BCL2 fusion in 25 (64%) of 39 fixed specimens with 11 PCR-negative (31%) of 36 FISH-positive cases. Even on frozen material with 100% applicability, the amplification of a BCL2-JH breakpoint was achieved in only 20 (71%) of 28 cases with 5 PCR-negative (20%) out of 25 FISH-positive cases. Therefore, FISH was found superior to PCR (using BIOMED-2 protocol) in detecting IGH-BCL2 fusion. Finally, FISH individualized 4 IGH-BCL2-negative FL cases without specific histopathologic features. With the use of split signal DNA probes, 1 case showed a trisomy of the BCL2 locus and another displayed BCL6 and IGH breakpoints that would suggest a t(3;14). Whether such IGH-BCL2-negative cases are characterized by alternative oncogenetic pathways remains to be determined.
