In addition, gain of MMR mutation between the primary and recurrent surgical specimen occurred more frequently with temozolomide therapy (P = .0073), and resulted in a substantial increase in TMB (P < .0001), higher grade (P = .0119), and worse post-recurrence survival (P = .0022) in the IDH-mutant astrocytoma cohort. This evidence concerns the gene IDH2 and astrocytoma (excluding glioblastoma).
