Digital Droplet PCR is a Specific and Sensitive Tool for Detecting IDH2 Mutations in Acute Myeloid LeuKemia Patients

Abstract excerpt

Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1 and IDH2) interfere with cellular metabolism contributing to oncogenesis. Mutations of IDH2 at R140 and R172 residues are observed in 20% of acute myeloid leukemias (AML), and the availability of the IDH2 inhibitor Enasidenib made IDH2 mutational screening a clinical need. The aim of this study was to set a new quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, the...
