Risk Factors
Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors are very rare tumors and absolute risk to siblings is not reported in the literature. However, there have been some reports of AT/RTs presenting in two members of the same family, or one family member with a AT/RT and another with a renal rhabdoid tumor or other CNS tumor. These are suspected to arise from germ-line genetic mutations in a parent shared by affected siblings.
- A three-generation family is known in which two half-brothers were diagnosed with central nervous system atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (AT/RT). The two boys, diagnosed at 2 months and 17 months of age, had a germline insertion mutation in exon 4 of the INI1 gene that was inherited from their healthy mother. A maternal uncle died in childhood from a brain tumor and a malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney. The identification of two unaffected carriers in a family segregating a germline mutation and rhabdoid tumor supports the hypothesis that there may be variable risks of development of rhabdoid tumor in the context of a germline mutation. There may be a developmental window in which most rhabdoid tumors occur. This family highlights the importance of mutation analysis in all patients with a suspected rhabdoid tumor.[1]
- In the first case report of monozygotic twins, both with brain tumors having similar genetic alterations, authors suggest a common genetic pathway.[2]
- A case reported on an infant that developed both AT/RT and renal rhabdoid tumors that were identical in gross and immunologic histology.[3]
- A family has had multiple generations of posterior fossa tumors including rhabdoid tumors and choroid plexus carcinoma. A germ-line mutation (SMARCB1) was found in both affected and some unaffected family members.[4]
- Two sisters were diagnosed with AT/RTs fifteen days apart. A case report stated there were no karyotypic anomalies noted.[5]
- Three siblings had a mutation of the SMARCB1 gene and one had a choroid plexus carcinoma and two had an AT/RT. Although the mother had a normal somatic DNA it appears that the mutation was inherited from the mother's germline due to a mutation during oogenesis.[6]
- Izycka-Swieszewska et al. describe a five month-old child with an AT/RT, whose father was diagnosed with a primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) of the spinal canal. FISH analysis showed significant genetic differences in the specimens which suggest that the occurrence of these virulent CNS malignancies within a single family was coincidental.[7]
