New publication from the GlioME Team and the national POLA network (dedicated to high grade oligodendroglioma) pointing at CDKN2A homozygous deletion as a strong adverse prognostic factor in diffuse malignant IDH-mutant gliomas.In a large cohort of 911 high-grade IDH-mutant gliomas from the French national POLA network, we investigated the prognostic value of the CDKN2A gene homozygous deletion as well as WHO grading criteria (mitoses, microvascular proliferation, and necrosis).
We showed that:
- CDKN2A homozygous deletion characterizes diffuse malignant IDH-mutant gliomas with worst outcome.- Microvascular proliferation stratifies IDH-mutant gliomas lacking CDKN2A homozygous deletion.

New publication for the Neuro-inflammation and Multiple Sclerosis team (INP team 5) in Cytokine about the immunomonitoring of infliximab biotherapiesIn this paper, Daniel Bertin evaluated the immunological follow-up of patients suffering from chronic inflammatory diseases and receiving anti-TNF biotherapy. Three commercial ELISA assays for monitoring soluble through levels of infliximab and anti-infliximab antibodies in serum showed a good global correlation of results. However, some quantitative discrepancies could change clinical decision. As a consequence, Daniel Bertin recommended to keep the same kit to perform a longitudinal follow-up of patients.
