PCR- and restriction endonuclease-based detection of IDH1 mutations.

Abstract excerpt

Hotspot mutations in codon 132 of the gene encoding isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) have emerged as the most frequent DNA alteration in astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas and oligoastrocytomas. These mutations have been shown to be of significant diagnostic and prognostic value. So far, assessment of IDH1 mutation relied on DNA sequencing techniques. We generated a set of primers suitable for endonuclease-based...
