[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/IDHC_HUMAN IDHC_HUMAN]] Defects in IDH1 are involved in the development of glioma (GLM) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/137800 137800]]. Gliomas are central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells and comprise astrocytomas, glioblastoma multiforme, oligodendrogliomas, and ependymomas. Note=Mutations affecting Arg-132 are tissue-specific, and suggest that this residue plays a unique role in the development of high-grade gliomas. Mutations of Arg-132 to Cys, His, Leu or Ser abolish magnesium binding and abolish the conversion of isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate. Instead, alpha-ketoglutarate is converted to R(-)-2-hydroxyglutarate. Elevated levels of R(-)-2-hydroxyglutarate are correlated with an elevated risk of malignant brain tumors. | [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/IDHC_HUMAN IDHC_HUMAN]] Defects in IDH1 are involved in the development of glioma (GLM) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/137800 137800]].
