Abstract excerpt
Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) are found in a high proportion of glial tumors and have a significant prognostic impact. Although direct sequencing has been considered to be the gold-standard method to detect this mutation, the sensitivity of this technique has been questioned especially because specimens from glial tumors may contain large numbers of non-tumor cells. We screened 141 cases of...
