Abstract Text | Glioblastoma is one of the most challenging forms of cancer to treat. Here we describe a computational platform that integrates the analysis of copy number variations and somatic mutations and unravels the landscape of in-frame gene fusions in glioblastoma. We found mutations with loss of heterozygosity in LZTR1, encoding an adaptor of CUL3-containing E3 ligase complexes. Mutations and deletions disrupt LZTR1 function, which restrains the self renewal and growth of glioma spheres that retain stem cell features. Loss-of-function mutations in CTNND2 target a neural-specific gene and are associated with the transformation of glioma cells along the very aggressive mesenchymal phenotype. We also report recurrent translocations that fuse the coding sequence of EGFR to several partners, with EGFR-SEPT14 being the most frequent functional gene fusion in human glioblastoma. EGFR-SEPT14 fusions activate STAT3 signaling and confer mitogen independence and sensitivity to EGFR inhibition. These results provide insights into the pathogenesis of glioblastoma and highlight new targets for therapeutic intervention. |

ATRX | Q1843H | missense | unknown | ATRX Q1843H does not lie within any known functional domains of the Atrx protein (UniProt.org). Q1843H has been identified in sequencing studies (PMID: 23917401), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Atrx protein function is unknown (PubMed, Mar 2024). | |
CHEK1 | K232N | missense | unknown | CHEK1 K232N lies within the protein kinase domain of the Chek1 protein (UniProt.org). K232N has been identified in sequencing studies (PMID: 23917401), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Chek1 protein function is unknown (PubMed, Oct 2023). | |
CHEK1 | R160H | missense | unknown | CHEK1 R160H lies within the protein kinase domain of the Chek1 protein (UniProt.org). R160H has been identified in the scientific literature (PMID: 23917401, PMID: 26674132, PMID: 34789479), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Chek1 protein function is unknown (PubMed, Oct 2023). | |
PIK3CA | K111R | missense | unknown | PIK3CA K111R does not lie within any known functional domains of the Pik3ca protein (UniProt.org). K111R has been identified in sequencing studies (PMID: 28027320, PMID: 27641744, PMID: 23917401), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Pik3ca protein function is unknown (PubMed, Mar 2024). | |
PTEN | T277I | missense | unknown | PTEN T277I lies within the C2 tensin-type domain of the Pten protein (UniProt.org). T277I has been identified in sequencing studies (PMID: 23917401, PMID: 32351019, PMID: 35052351), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Pten protein function is unknown (PubMed, Dec 2023). |
