Abstract excerpt
Novel mutations in the isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) and 2 (IDH2) genes have been identified in a large proportion of diffuse gliomas. Tumors with IDH1/2 mutations have distinctive clinical characteristics, including a less aggressive course. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate the performance of a novel real-time PCR and post-PCR fluorescence melting curve analysis assay for the detection of...
