Abstract

Introduction: there are several Tyrosine Kinase Receptors that are involved in the development, growth and progression of tumor cells, for example, in glioblastomas it has been found that due to a possible linkage imbalance the PDGFRA, KIT and KDR genes, located in the arm length of chromosome 4 (4q11-q12), which could be related to the progression of this neoplasm. Objective: to report two clinical cases of patients diagnosed with glioblastoma and mutations in the PDGFRA, KIT, and KDR genes, and their relationship with a worse outcome. Clinical cases: this article presents the case of two patients with mutations in the genes, the result of a genetic panel that evaluated 324 genes and 37 gene fusions and accelerated clinical progression during the course of the disease. Conclusion: the changes produced in glioblastomas by mutations in receptor tyrosine kinases at the biological level describe a greater proliferative capacity of the tumor, which in the clinical setting has been evidenced as a worse prognosis for the patient, hence the need for have genetic panels that help identify the tumor profile and encourage more clinical studies related to drugs that target those receptors.
