Please note that historically, numbering of the amino acid sequences of histone genes has begun at the second codon, as the amino acid encoded by the first codon (methionine) is cleaved post-translationally. Therefore, H3.3 G34 represents the legacy nomenclature of what is now referred to as H3.3 G35 <ref>{{Cite journal|last=Leske|first=Henning|last2=Dalgleish|first2=Raymond|last3=Lazar|first3=Alexander J.|last4=Reifenberger|first4=Guido|last5=Cree|first5=Ian A.|date=2021-06|title=A common classification framework for histone sequence alterations in tumours: an expert consensus proposal|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33779999|journal=The Journal of Pathology|volume=254|issue=2|pages=109–120|doi=10.1002/path.5666|issn=1096-9896|pmid=33779999}}</ref>.

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 (H3-3A) 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]. This distinct tumor entity is an aggressive glioma arising from the cerebral hemispheres. G34-DHG is designated as CNS WHO grade 4 in in the WHO 5th edition [3].

Please note that historically, numbering of the amino acid sequences of histone genes has begun at the second codon, as the amino acid encoded by the first codon (methionine) is cleaved post-translationally. Therefore, H3.3 G34 represents the legacy nomenclature of what is now referred to as H3.3 G35 [4].

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 [5][6]. Studies have shown that there is a gender difference with male to female ratio of 1.4:1 [7][8].

Clinical Features

Site dependent neurological symptoms including epileptic seizure, focal deficit, increased intracranial hypertension (headache, nausea and vomiting) [9].

Signs and Symptoms epileptic seizure, focal deficit, increased intracranial hypertension
Laboratory Findings Not applicable

Sites of Involvement

  • Usually involves cerebral hemispheres
  • Occasionally across the midline and disseminate to leptomeningeal structures.
  • MRI typically shows a 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 [10].

Morphologic Features

  • Grossly, grey/tan solid mass within cortical and subcortical region with soft consistency, necrotic and hemorrhagic features.
  • Microscopically, heterogenous histological appearance, with two main histological appearances: glioblastoma-like and primitive embryonal-like. GBM-like morphology typically shows a highly cellular, infiltrative, astrocytic tumor. High mitotic activity, microvascular proliferation and necrosis are frequently seen. Embryonal-like morphology shows hyperchromatic nuclei with scant cytoplasm, and occasional Homer-Wright rosettes.

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 [15][16]. This attenuated interaction alters genome wide methylation level and promote tumorigenesis.
  • G34-DHG demonstrates global hypomethylation pattern but MGMT promoter is frequently methylated [17][18][19]
  • MGMT promoter methylation is seen between 70 and 74% of cases (ref 4, 5) and is associated with significantly longer overall survival [6][7].

Genes and Main Pathways Involved

Gene; Genetic Alteration Pathway Pathophysiologic Outcome
H3-3A; 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)
