Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase (<i>IDH</i>) are commonly observed in lower-grade glioma and secondary glioblastomas. <i>IDH</i> mutants confer a neomorphic enzyme activity that converts α-ketoglutarate to an oncometabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate, which impacts cellular epigenetics and metabolism. <i>IDH</i> mutation establishes distinctive patterns in metabolism, cancer biology, and the therapeutic sensitivity of glioma. Thus, a deeper understanding of the roles of <i>IDH</i> mutations is o ...[more]
