An in vivo patient-derived model of endogenous IDH1-mutant glioma
13 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
Somatic mutations in the catalytic domain of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) 1/2 and accumulation of the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) appear to be among the earliest events in gliomagenesis and may contribute to malignant transformation. The lack of cell lines with endogenous mutations has been one of the major challenges in studying IDH1/2-mutant glioma and developing novel therapeutics for these...
