Abstract excerpt
Somatic mutations in the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) genes IDH1 and IDH2 occur frequently in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and other cancers. These genes encode neomorphic proteins that produce the presumed oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG). Despite the prospect of treating AML and other cancers by targeting IDH mutant proteins, it remains unclear how these mutants affect tumor development and...
