Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1 and IDH2) are the most frequently mutated metabolic genes in human cancer. They encode cytosolic and mitochondrial enzymes that catalyze the conversion of isocitrate to a-ketoglutarate (aKG), a key component in metabolic and cellular pathways including the Krebs cycle. IDH1 and IDH2 mutations are found in multiple types of human cancer including, but not limited to, acute myeloid leukemia and gliomas. Identification of IDH mutations can aid in their diagnosis, provide prognostic information, and suggest treatment with IDH inhibitors. This assay will detect mutations affecting amino acids 100, 105, and 132 of IDH1, and amino acids 140 and 172 of IDH2.
