“…In the current study, we found IDH1 mutations in 18.7% (6/32) of samples tested, while none of the cases demonstrated any mutation in IDH2. The frequency of IDH1 mutations in our cohort was similar to that from Netherlands (20%, 23/113) (Bleeker et al, 2009) and Germany (19%, 50/262) (Felsberg et al, 2010), higher than Brazil (11.8%, 19/161) (Uno et al, 2011), and lower than USA (45.3%, 34/75) (Horbinski et al, 2009), Japan (29%, 73/250) (Musaka et al, 2012) as well as India (46%, 46/100) (Jha et al, 2011). The difference in the frequency of IDH1 mutation may be attributed to sample size, variable sensitivity of the detection assays, or the racial differences can also be taken into consideration.…”
