Abstract excerpt
Human isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) genes encode for the IDH1, 2 & 3 isoenzymes which catalyse the formation of 2-oxoglutarate from isocitrate and are essential for normal mammalian metabolism. Although mutations in these genes in cancer were long thought to lead to a 'loss of function', combined genomic and metabolomic studies led to the discovery that a common IDH 1 mutation, present in low-grade glioma and...
