Central neurocytoma: SNP array analyses, subtel FISH, and review of the literature.
Pathology, Research and Practice 2019 March 28
The central neurocytoma (CN) is a rare brain tumor with a frequency of 0.1-0.5% of all brain tumors. According to the World Health Organization classification, it is a benign grade II tumor with good prognosis. However, some CN occur as histologically "atypical" variant, combined with increasing proliferation and poor clinical outcome. Detailed genetic knowledge could be helpful to characterize a potential atypical behavior in CN. Only few publications on genetics of CN exist in the literature. Therefore, we performed cytogenetic analysis of an intraventricular neurocytoma WHO grade II in a 39-year-old male patient by use of genome-wide high-density single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP array) and subtelomere FISH. Applying these techniques, we could detect known chromosomal aberrations and identified six not previously described chromosomal aberrations, gains of 1p36.33-p36.31, 2q37.1-q37.3, 6q27, 12p13.33-p13.31, 20q13.31-q13.33, and loss of 19p13.3-p12. Our case report contributes to the genetic knowledge about CN and to increased understanding of "typical" and "atypical" variants.
