Abstract excerpt
Diffusely infiltrating cerebral gliomas frequently carry point mutations in codon 132 of the isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) gene or in codon 172 of the IDH2 gene, which are both clinically important as diagnostic and prognostic markers. Here, we report on a method that allows for the rapid detection of IDH1 and IDH2 mutations based on pyrosequencing. The method is applicable to routinely processed tissue...
