Abstract excerpt
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a lethal hematologic malignancy associated with poor clinical outcomes. In recent years, mutations in the IDH1 and IDH2 genes have been discovered across a range of malignancies, including AML, raising hope for effective targeted therapies. An intriguing aspect of IDH1/2-mutant malignancies is the aberrant production of the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), which likely...
