Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors in adults. They are divided into several histological subtypes base on histology, but each subtype contains clinically diverse phenotypes. We hypothesized that telomere-related genes, mainly TERT promoter, may be a prognostic marker for this tumor. We conducted genetic analysis for a Japanese cohort, and investigated the relationships between genetic alteration and clinical courses. Our results indicated that TERT promoter mutations are useful to define glioma subclasses with different clinical courses in combination with IDH1/2 or MGMT methylation status.
