IDH2 and central nervous system cancer: Even with the demonstration that an accumulation of D-2HG, in the case of the D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria, does not predispose individuals to develop tumors and those patients’ bearing gliomas with IDH1 mutations have better survival expectancies than those bearing the wild-type ones, the overproduction of 2HG in gliomas, driven by the IDH mutations, has been used as an argument to explain the genesis of glioma.
