Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Isocitrate deyhydrogenase (IDH) mutant glioma comprises the majority of grades II-III gliomas and nearly all secondary glioblastomas. These progressive gliomas arise from mutations in IDH1 or IDH2 that pathologically produce D-2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG), which interferes with cell reactions using alpha ketoglutarate, leading to a hypermethylated genome and epigenetic dysregulation of gene expression...
