Molecular Pathogenesis of Low-Grade Glioma
21 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Advances in genome sequencing have elucidated the genetics of low-grade glioma. Available evidence indicates a neomorphic mutation in isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) initiates gliomagenesis. Mutant IDH produces the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate, which inhibits enzymes that demethylate genomic DNA and histones. Recent findings by the authors and others suggest the ensuing hypermethylation alters chromatin...
