• Abstract Background To investigate associations between lower-grade glioma (LGG) mRNA-based subtypes (R1-R4) and MR features. Methods mRNA-based subtyping was obtained from the LGG dataset in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We identified matching patients ( n  = 145) in The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) who underwent MR imaging. The associations between mRNA-based subtypes and MR features were assessed. Results In the TCGA-LGG dataset, patients with the R2 subtype had the shortest median OS months ( P  < 0.05). The time-dependent ROC for the R2 subtype was 0.78 for survival at 12 months, 0.76 for survival at 24 months, and 0.76 for survival at 36 months. In the TCIA-LGG dataset, 41 (23.7%) R1 subtype, 40 (23.1%) R2 subtype, 19 (11.0%) R3 subtype and 45 (26.0%) R4 subtype cases were identified. Multivariate analysis revealed that enhancing margin (ill-defined, OR: 9.985; P  = 0.003) and T1 + C/T2 mismatch (yes, OR: 0.091; P  = 0.023) were associated with the R1 subtype (AUC: 0.708). The average accuracy of the ten-fold cross validation was 71%. Proportion of contrast-enhanced (CE) tumour (> 5%, OR: 14.733; P  < 0.001) and necrosis/cystic changes (yes, OR: 0.252; P  = 0.009) were associated with the R2 subtype (AUC: 0.832). The average accuracy of the ten-fold cross validation was 82%. Haemorrhage (yes, OR: 8.55; P  < 0.001) was positively associated with the R3 subtype (AUC: 0.689). The average accuracy of the ten-fold cross validation was 87%. Proportion of CE tumour (> 5%, OR: 0.14; P  < 0.001) was negatively associated with the R4 subtype (AUC: 0.672). The average accuracy of the ten-fold cross validation was 71%. For the prediction of the R2 subtype, the nomogram showed good discrimination and calibration. Decision curve analysis demonstrated that prediction with the R2 model was clinically useful. Conclusions Patients with the R2 subtype had the worst prognosis. We demonstrated that MRI features can identify distinct LGG mRNA-based molecular subtypes.
