Precision Oncology in Lower-Grade Gliomas: Promises and Pitfalls of Therapeutic Strategies Targeting IDH-Mutations
22 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)1 and its homolog IDH2 are considered an earliest “driver” genetic event during gliomagenesis, representing now the molecular hallmark of lower-grade gliomas (LGGs). IDH-mutated genes encode for a neomorphic enzyme that converts α-ketoglutarate to the oncometabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), which accumulates to high concentrations and alters cellular epigenetics and...
