The Role of SIX-EYA Complex in Branchiootorenal Syndrome and Glioblastoma: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Introduction: We present the case of a 58-year-old female with Branchiootorenal (BOR) syndrome who was diagnosed with glioblastoma (GBM). A relationship between BOR syndrome and GBM has not previously been reported, prompting a literature review into the underlying genomics of BOR sy...

description Introduction: We present the case of a 58-year-old female with Branchiootorenal (BOR) syndrome who was diagnosed with glioblastoma (GBM). A relationship between BOR syndrome and GBM has not previously been reported, prompting a literature review into the underlying genomics of BOR syndrome and CNS glioma. Case Presentation: The patient underwent craniotomy for resection with pathology demonstrating IDH-wildtype (WHO grade 4), MGMT-unmethylated glioblastoma. After outpatient discussion with oncology, the patient and her family elected not to pursue chemotherapy or radiation. Conclusion: Literature review revealed common mutations to EYA and SIX genes, suggesting a possible unestablished relationship and future pathway for targeted treatments. Future studies should investigate the incidence of glioma in BOR patients with emphasis on genetic testing.
