The effect of allergy on survival was significant (p = 0.025, HR 0.525, 95% CI 0.299-0.924), independent of the effect of chromosome 1p (p < 0.001, HR 93.4, 95% CI 16-546) and 19q (p = 0.801, HR 1.2, 95% CI 0.23-6.9) codeletion or TP53 mutation (p = 0.015, HR 2.7, 95% CI 1.2-5.9), unrelated to TERT expression (p = 0.365, HR 1.1, 95% CI 0.89-1.4) or ATRX mutation (p = 0.904, HR 1.04, 95% CI 0.51-2.14), independent of tumor grade (grade 2 versus grade 3, p = 0.004, HR 2.2, 95% CI 1.3-3.8), not independent of histology (oligodendroglioma and oligoastrocytoma, NOS versus astrocytoma, p = 0.08, HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.36-1.1).
We analyzed markers, including IDH mutation(IDHmut), 1p19q codeletion(1p19qcodel), ATRX expression loss(ATRX loss) and p53 overexpression, and outcomes in 159 patients with WHO grade II oligodendroglioma, oligoastrocytoma, and astrocytoma (2003-2012).
ATRX and IDH1-R132H immunohistochemistry with subsequent copy number analysis and IDH sequencing as a basis for an "integrated" diagnostic approach for adult astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma and glioblastoma.
