While there are few studies that investigate the effect of CIN and overall CNV in diffuse gliomas, we and others have used large publicly-available and institutional cohorts of IDH-mutant astrocytoma and IDH-wildtype glioblastoma to demonstrate that CIN can be readily identified through whole genome copy number profiling and whole exome sequencing in certain subsets. The gene discussed is IDH1; the disease is astrocytoma (excluding glioblastoma).
