Abstract excerpt
Diffuse gliomas are defined on the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene (IDH) mutational mutational status. The most frequent IDH mutation is IDH1 R132H, which is detectable by immunohistochemistry; other IDH mutations are rare (10%). IDH mutant gliomas have better prognosis. Further, IDH wild-type low-grade (II/III) gliomas have clinical behaviors similar to those of glioblastoma (GBM) and it was suggested that...
