Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 define a glioma subtype with improved prognosis. IDH mutated tumours also contain elevated levels of 2HG. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy detection of 2HG may, therefore, provide an important prognostic biomarker in the initial staging of human gliomas. In this study, 12 human glioma tissue specimens were examined ex-vivo using edited magnetic resonance spectroscopy at 9.4 Tesla. 2HG was unambiguously detected in 9 of 11 IDH mutated tumour specimens, suggesting that MRS of 2HG holds potential as an indicator of tumour mutation status.
