11 IDH1/2 mutation Large-scale genomic study by the Centre for Genomic Application 12% displayed mutations in IDH1 gene IDH1 mutations are heterozygous with a wildtype allele 89.3% are G A with Arg His at amino acid residue 132 IDH2 mutations at aminoacid residue Arg172 Young patients Secondary GBM

12 IDH1/2 mutation Similar studies found acute myeloid leukemias (8%) Non-R132H IDH1 mutations Greater proportion of IDH2 than IDH1 mutations

13 IDH1/2 mutation: association with other genetic changes IDH1/2 mutations: Associated with TP53 mutations 1p/19q codeletion MGMT promoter methylation

14 IDH1/2 mutation: association with other genetic changes IDH1/2 mutations: Associated with TP53 mutations 1p/19q codeletion MGMT promoter methylation Inversely associated with: EGFR amplification CDKN2A/B homozygous deletion (p16 and p14) PTEN mutations Chromosome 10 loss Not increase frequency in progression to highergrade gliomas

35 Summary IDH mutations are early and common events in development of gliomas. IDH mutations strongly predict favorable outcome in patients with high-grade gliomas IDH mutations is associated with G-CIMP phenotype IDH1 mutations, G-CIMP phenotype associated with proneural GBM The underlying mechanism of IDH mutations remains unknown Tumoral 2-Hidroxyglutarate levels: clinical biomarker?
