Background

Intracranial germ cell tumors (GCTs) are rare neoplasms. Little is known about the pathogenesis of these tumors. The BCL10 gene, a proapoptotic signaling molecule involved in the Apaf-1/caspase-9 cell death pathway, may act as a tumor suppressor gene in multiple types of tumors including testicular GCTs.

Methods

To evaluate whether alterations in the BCL10 gene play a role in the genesis of intracranial GCTs, we analyzed the BCL10 gene in 10 pure germinomas (PGs) and 10 nongerminomatous GCTs.

Results

We found no inactivating mutations; however, 5 of 10 PGs and 1 of 10 nongerminomatous GCTs manifested specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that carried an amino acid substitution at codon 5 in exon 1 or codon 162 in exon 3. This SNP occurs at higher frequency in patients with PGs than healthy individuals (p = 0.07). CSF dissemination occurred in 4 of our 6 patients manifesting SNP (p = 0.037).

Conclusions

Our data suggest that this specific SNP in the BCL10 gene may be partly responsible for the tumorigenesis of PG in Japanese individuals, and may be associated with the aggressive nature of these tumors."xsd:string
