Clinical Information
Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) is a cytosolic/peroxisomal enzyme involved in citric acid cycle and other cellular metabolic processes. It catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate (a-KG), generating reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) from NADP(+). Isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) is a mitochondrial NADP(+)-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to a- KG, generating NADPH from NADP(+). Mutations in codon R132 of IDH1 or R140 or R172 in IDH2 confer an abnormal enzyme activity that converts a-KG to D-2- hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) resulting in elevation of 2-HG and a hypermethylation state, associated in myeloid neoplasms including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). IDH1 and IDH2 point mutations are seen in approximately 5% to 33% de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 7% to 25% secondary AML.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved ivosidenib (AG-120) for the treatment of newly-diagnosed IDH1-mutated AML (patients 75 years of age and older or who have comorbidities that preclude the use of intensive induction chemotherapy) and relapsed/refractory AML in adult patients.(1) The FDA has also approved enasidenib (AG-221) for the treatment of IDH2-mutated relapsed/refractory AML.(2)
IDH1 and IDH2 have also been shown to be suitable minimal residual disease markers for AML post-therapy.
Reference Values
An interpretive report will be provided.
Interpretation
The assay is reported as positive or negative. In positive cases, the mutation and its variant allele fraction (VAF) are reported.
VAF%= (mutant copy number)/(mutant copy number + wild-type number)
The precision of this quantitative assay is excellent but interassay variability may occur such that result changes should not be considered significant if 2 single measurements differ by less than 0.5 log (3.16-folds).
