TERT
promoter (
TERT
p) mutation is the most common mutation in glioblastomas. It creates a putative binding site for Ets/TCF transcription factors, enhancing telomerase expression and activity, whereas the rs2853669 variant disrupts another Ets/TCF binding. We explore here the interaction between these two alterations, tumor genomic profile and the impact on prognosis. The
TERT
p and rs2853669 statuses were determined and confronted with the outcome and molecular profile, i.e., loss of chromosome 10q,
CDKN2A
deletion,
IDH
mutation,
EGFR
amplification,
MGMT
promoter methylation. 651 glioblastomas were selected (sex ratio = 1.35, median age 60.4 years, median survival 13.5 months). The
TERT
p mutation found in 481 patients (74 %) was independent from rs2853669 genotypes.
TERT
p mutation, but not rs2853669 status, was associated with older age (61.4 vs. 52.8 years). rs2853669 status had no impact on overall survival (OS) either in mutated
TERT
p or wild-type
TERT
p. Neither rs2736100 (
TERT
, 5q15.33) nor rs192011116 (
TERC
, 3q26.2) status had any impact on survival or showed any association with a
TERT
p mutation. The
TERT
p mutation was associated with
EGFR
amplification chromosome 10q loss,
CDKN2A
deletion and
IDH
wt.
EGFR
amplification was associated with a better outcome in TERTp mutated GBM, and a worse outcome in TERTp WT. This study—the largest analyzing the
TERT
p mutation and the rs2853669 polymorphism—fails to find any prognostic impact of rs2853669. It confirms the dual prognostic impact of
EGFR
amplification depending on
TERT
p status.
