IDH mutations occur frequently in Chinese glioma patients and predict longer survival but not response to concomitant chemoradiotherapy in anaplastic gliomas

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 genes (IDH1 and IDH2) appear to occur frequently and selectively in gliomas. Our aim was to assess whether IDH mutations are common in Chinese glioma patients and whether the mutations predict good response to concomitant chemoradiotherapy. In this study IDH1 and IDH2 mutations were detected in a series of 203 gliomas. IDH1 mutations were present in 75 of the 203...
