Abstract

The genetic aetiology of familial glioma is largely unknown. To gain further insight into the role of rare disruptive variants we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) of 17 glioma families, identifying two families where loss of function mutations in dynein axonemal heavy chain 11 (DNAH11) co-segregated with glioma (DNAH11 p.Ser1470ArgfsTer6 and p.Thr3900Lys) and single families implicating Telomere Replication Complex Component 1 (CTC1 p.Leu1058ProfsTer32) and filamin alpha (FLNA p.Ser1356Phe). We complemented linkage analysis by WES of 150 additional unrelated familial glioma cases and conducting gene burden tests leveraging WES data on 691 cases of glioma from TCGA. Our analysis does not provide support for a hitherto unidentified major cancer gene for glioma but highlights a series of novel candidate predisposition variants/genes, worthy of further investigation to shed light on glioma risk.
