Cancer Category/Type
Gliomas, glioneuronal tumors, and neuronal tumors / Pediatric-type diffuse high-grade gliomas
Cancer Sub-Classification / Subtype
Diffuse hemispheric glioma, H3 G34–mutant
Definition / Description of Disease
Diffuse hemispheric glioma, H3 G34–mutant (G34-DHG) is a newly recognized tumor entity that is characterized by point mutations in the H3-3A (H3F3A) gene, encoding for histone variant H3.3 [1][2]. Point mutations tend to be clustered at codon 34 including c.103G>A p.G35R (G34R), c.103G>C p.G35R (G34R), or rarely c.104G>T p.G35V (G34V) [1]. The distinct tumor entity is featured with aggressive glioma that arises from cerebral hemispheres and DHG is included in WHO 5th edition as CNS grade 4 tumor type.
Synonyms / Terminology
Pediatric glioblastoma, H3.3 G34–mutant (not recommended)
Epidemiology / Prevalence
G34-DHG is reported to account for approximately 15% of high grade gliomas (HGSs) and typically affect adolescents and young adults with a median age at diagnosis of 15.8 years old [3][4]. Studies have shown that there is a gender difference with male to female ratio of 1.4:1 [5][6].
Clinical Features
Site dependent neurological symptoms including epileptic seizure, focal deficit, increased intracranial hypertension (headache, nausea and vomiting) [7].
| Signs and Symptoms | epileptic seizure, focal deficit, increased intracranial hypertension |
| Laboratory Findings | MRI in T2 hyperintense shows bulky cortical mass most commonly seen in the parietal or temporal lobe. Multifocal lesions and/or leptomeningeal dissemination can be seen along with necrosis, cysts, hemorrhage and calcification [8]. |
Sites of Involvement
- Usually involves cerebral hemispheres
- Occasionally across the midline and disseminate to leptomeningeal structures.
Morphologic Features
- Grossly, grey/tan solid mass within cortical and subcortical region with soft consistence, necrotic and hemorrhagic features.
- Microscopically, heterogenous histological appearance including glioblastoma (GBM) and central nervous system embryonal tumor. GBM typically presents with highly cellularity, infiltrative astrocytic tumor. High mitotic activity and microvascular proliferation and necrosis are frequently seen. Embryonal tumors show hyperchromatic nuclei and scant cytoplasm with occasionally Homer-Wright rosettes appearance.

| Negative (universal) | ATRX, Olig2 |

Note: A more extensive list of mutations can be found in cBioportal (https://www.cbioportal.org/), COSMIC (https://cancer.sanger.ac.uk/cosmic), ICGC (https://dcc.icgc.org/) and/or other databases. When applicable, gene-specific pages within the CCGA site directly link to pertinent external content.
Epigenomic Alterations
- H3.3 G34R/V/D mutations impair di- or tri- methylation of lysine 36 by blocking the access to its lysine methyltransferase SETD2 and lysine demethylase KDM2A [12][13]. This attenuated interaction alters genome wide methylation level and promote tumorigenesis.
- G34-DHG demonstrates global hypomethylation pattern but MGMT promoter is frequently methylated [14][15][16]
Genes and Main Pathways Involved
| Gene; Genetic Alteration | Pathway | Pathophysiologic Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| H3F3A; p.G35/R/V | Histone modification, chromatin remodeling | Altered methylation and gene expression |
| MGMT; promoter methylation | DNA repair | Sensitize tumor cells to chemo- or radiotherapy. |
| TP53; mutation | Genome guardian, apoptosis | Apoptosis resistance |
| ATRX; mutation | Chromatin remodeling, alternative telomeres lengthening repression | Facilitate alternative lengthening of telomeres |
Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods
- Targeted sequencing to identify c.103G>A p.G35R (G34R), c.103G>C p.G35R (G34R), or c.104G>T p.G35V (G34V) is diagnostic for G34-DHG.
- Pan-cancer sequencing will likely detect concurrent mutations in TP53, ATRX, PDGFRA etc.
- DNA methylation and gene expression profiling can be used to differentiate G34-DHG with other glioma subgroups.
- MGMT promoter methylation can be assessed by methylation specific polymerase chain reaction analysis (Bisulfite treated DNA undergoes real-time PCR)
