If your bone marrow or molecular test report mentions an IDH1 mutation or an IDH2 mutation, these refer to changes in two closely related genes that affect how leukemia cells process energy — and, as a result, how they grow and mature. IDH1 and IDH2 mutations are found in approximately 20% of adults with acute …

IDH1 and IDH2 are genes that provide instructions for making proteins called isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2. These proteins help cells produce energy by participating in a normal chemical process that converts one molecule (isocitrate) into another (α-ketoglutarate), a process essential for many cellular functions. These proteins also help regulate the balance of other molecules …

Oligodendroglioma is a type of brain tumor that develops from glial cells, the supporting cells of the central nervous system. It belongs to a larger group of tumors called diffuse gliomas. Diffuse gliomas are infiltrative, which means the tumor cells spread into the normal brain tissue around them and cannot be fully separated from it …
