The Common Feature of Leukemia-Associated IDH1 and IDH2 Mutations Is a Neomorphic Enzyme Activity Converting α-Ketoglutarate to 2-Hydroxyglutarate

Open access

Abstract

The somatic mutations in cytosolic isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) observed in gliomas can lead to the production of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG). Here, we report that tumor 2HG is elevated in a high percentage of patients with cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Surprisingly, less than half of cases with elevated 2HG possessed IDH1 mutations. The remaining cases with elevated 2HG had mutations in IDH2, the mitochondrial homolog of IDH1. These data demonstrate that a shared feature of all cancer-associated IDH mutations is production of the oncometabolite 2HG. Furthermore, AML patients with IDH mutations display a significantly reduced number of other well characterized AML-associated mutations and/or associated chromosomal abnormalities, potentially implicating IDH mutation in a distinct mechanism of AML pathogenesis.

    All reported IDH1 or IDH2 mutations are heterozygous, with cancer cells retaining one wild-type copy of the relevant allele.

    No patient has been reported with both an IDH1 and IDH2 mutation.

    “No patient has been reported with both an IDH1 and IDH2 mutation”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    All reported IDH1 mutations result in an amino acid substitution at a single arginine residue in the enzyme's active site, R132.

    “To date, all reported IDH1 mutations result in an amino acid substitution at a single arginine residue in the enzyme’s active site, R132”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    IDH2 mutations identified in gliomas occur at the analogous residue to IDH1 R132, IDH2 R172.

    “The IDH2 mutations which have been identified in gliomas occur at the analogous residue to IDH1 R132, IDH2 R172”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    IDH1 contributes to cytosolic NADPH production.

    “IDH1 contributes to cytosolic NADPH production.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Mitochondrial α-ketoglutarate levels are kept high by various anaplerotic substrates.

    “In addition, mitochondrial α-ketoglutarate is maintained at high levels by a variety of anaplerotic substrates.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    IDH mutations occur frequently in gliomas with mixed astrocytic and oligodendroglial features and in acute myeloid leukemias.

    “a possibility by which 2HG might contribute to tumorigenesis emerges from consideration of the tumor subtypes in which IDH mutations are found with high frequency: gliomas with mixed astrocytic and oligodendroglial features, and acute myeloid leukemias.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    In those two tumor types, disease centers on proliferation of relatively undifferentiated cells, and pathogenesis involves a differentiation block rather than only faster proliferation.

    “In both cases, proliferation of a relatively undifferentiated cell population is central to the disease, and pathogenesis is marked by a block to differentiation rather than simply by an increase in proliferative rate.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Most enzyme mutations linked to cancer cause either loss of catalysis or constitutive activation.

    “Most cancer-associated enzyme mutations result in either catalytic inactivation or constitutive activation.”

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

Self-check

Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.

Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.

  • Conflicting ranges for tumor 2HG elevation

    Minor

    One section says both mutant proteins produce more than a 100-fold increase in tumor 2HG, while another says cancers with IDH mutations are consistently elevated by 10-100 fold. The stated upper bound does not accommodate an increase over 100-fold.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-06, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-06 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
