TERT promoter mutation is associated with 1p/19q codeletion and favorable prognosis in IDH-mutated gliomas. Prognostic and diagnostic significance of TERT promoter mutation is well-recognized in IDH-wildtype glioblastomas, but not in IDH-mutated gliomas. We investigated prognostic efficacy of TERT mutation in a cohort of 560 Japanese IDH-mutated adult gliomas. The molecular status of IDH, TERT and 1p/19q and patient clinical data including Karnofsky performance status (KPS) were collected in all cases. TERT mutations and 1p/19q codeletions were found in 303 and 285 cases, respectively. The patient cohort was divided into four groups by a combination of the 1p/19q and TERT status. The characteristics of 1p/19q intact-TERT mutated group (Astro-TERT group, n=24) were compared with those of 1p/19q intact-TERT wild (Astro-group, n=251) or 1p/19q codeleted-TERT mutated (Oligo-group, n=279) cases. Astro-TERT group with any grade showed intermediate overall survival between the Oligo-group and Astro-group although the survival differences were not statistically significant (median overall survival (OS) not reached (NR) versus NR, and 106 months, respectively. p &gt;0.05). We further conducted subgroup analysis by adjusting KPS and WHO grade as Cox regression analysis for survival indicated the unfavorable survival impact of KPS  0.05). On the other hand, OS of none of the molecular groups significantly differ in poorer KPS subgroups (p &gt;0.05). In grade IV tumors, the OS of the Astro-TERT group (NR) was comparable with that of Astro-group (29 months, p=0.19) rather than Oligo-group (NR, p=0.051). Thus, TERT promoter status provides a valuable prognostic information for IDH-mutated grade II-III gliomas in the current molecular diagnostic system.
