Specific IDH mutations are highly prevalent features of certain subsets of cancers, including 60–90% of gliomas and secondary glioblastomas, 20% of late-stage acute myelogenous leukemia, ~50% of central and periosteal cartilagenous tumors, and 10–20% of interhepatic cholangiocarcinoma (Parsons et al., 2008; Molenaar et al., 2014). This evidence concerns the gene IDH2 and acute myeloid leukemia.
