It has been clear that somatic mosaic isocitrate dehydrogenase type 1 (IDH1) or isocitrate dehydrogenase type 2 (IDH2) mutations are associated with Maffucci’s syndrome and Ollier disease, but the mechanisms underlying hemangiomas of the Maffucci’s syndrome is still obscure. The gene discussed is IDH2; the disease is Maffucci syndrome.
