Abstract

Aim: IDH mutations have been identified as frequent molecular lesions in several tumor types, particularly in gliomas. As a putative marker of IDH mutations, elevated D-2-HG has been reported in glioma, acute myeloid leukemia and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Excessive production of L-2-HG has also been described in renal cell carcinoma and 2-hydroxyaciduria. Materials & methods: The authors present a fully optimized stable isotope dilution multiple reaction monitoring method for quantification of D-/L-2-HG using LC-MS/MS. This is the first method validation study performed on cerebrospinal fluid, plasmaand urine demonstrating clinical applicability with samples from glioma patients. Results & conclusion: This method validation study showed high accuracy and precision with low limit of detection and limit of quantification values. The authors believe that the presented approach is highly applicable for basic and clinical research on related pathologies.
