Abstract excerpt
Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenases (IDHs) 1 and 2 frequently occur in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and result in the production of the oncometabolite d-2-hydroxyglutarate (D2HG). D2HG has been shown to promote leukemogenesis even in the absence of mutated IDH, but the prognostic significance of pretreatment serum D2HG levels in patients with IDH-mutated AML is unclear. We measured D2HG serum levels in 84...
