Abstract excerpt
Somatic mutation of Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) at the locus of R132 (IDH1 (R132H)) occurs in > 70% of WHO grade II-III gliomas and secondary glioblastomas. To date it remains unknown whether the mutation is restricted to glial tumor cells. Microglial cells are the resident macrophages in the central nervous system. Tumor-infiltrating microglial cells/macrophages are major stromal cellular components of...
