Abstract excerpt
Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 or 2 (IDH1/2) define a major subgroup of adult-type diffuse gliomas and induce accumulation of D-2-hydroxyglutarate, resulting in extensive DNA and histone methylation changes. This epigenetic reprogramming underlies the glioma CpG island methylator phenotype (G-CIMP) and contributes to tumour lineage, differentiation state and clinical behaviour. DNA methylation profiling...
