The treatment options for central chondrosarcoma are limited, and prognoses are generally unreliable. The presence and absence of mutations in IDH1, and IDH2 are defining events, and TERT mutations have been recently been associated with poor outcome. Despite this, molecular biomarkers are lacking. Here, analysing data from 356 patients, comprising results from whole genome sequencing (n=68), digital droplet PCR (n=346), and methylation arrays (n=57), we present a comprehensive genetic analysis of chondrosarcoma and suggest its clinical utility. Methylation profiles, TERT promoter mutations, genome doubling with prior haploidisation, and age at diagnosis of high grade, distinguish IDH1-mutant, IDH2-mutant and IDH wildtype tumours. The majority of IDH2-mutant tumours harbour TERT mutations, though a significant reduction in survival is only found in the less common mutational combination of IDH1 and TERT. We suggest that diagnostic testing for IDH1, IDH2 and TERT mutations could guide clinical monitoring and prognostication.
