Abstract excerpt
NADP-dependent enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations, IDH1 and IDH2, have been described in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) using next generation sequencing approaches. IDH2 mutations are heterozygous; they alter a single arginine residue at position 140 or 172 and have distinct prognostic significance. The current detection methods of IDH2 mutations are laborious and time consuming as they require DNA...
