Methylation Profiling Identifies Stability of Isocitrate Dehydrogenase Mutation Over Time.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveIsocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation status is a key diagnostic and prognostic feature of gliomas. It is thought to occur early in glioma tumorigenesis and remain stable over time. However, there are reports documenting a loss of IDH mutation status in a subset of patients with glioma recurrence. Here, we identified patients with a documented loss of IDH mutation status longitudinally and performed multi-platform analysis in order to determine if IDH mutations are stable throughout glioma evolution.
methodsWe retrospectively identified patients from our institution from 2009 to 2018 with immunohistochemistry (IHC)-recorded IDH mutation status changes longitudinally. Archived formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded and frozen tissue samples from these patients were collected from our institution's tumour bank. Samples were analysed using methylation profiling, copy number variation, Sanger sequencing, droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) and IHC.
resultsWe reviewed 1491 archived glioma samples including 78 patients with multiple IDH mutant tumour samples collected longitudinally. In all instances of documented loss of IDH mutation status, multi-platform profiling identified a mixture of low tumour cell content and non-neoplastic tissue including perilesional, reactive or inflammatory cells.
conclusionsAll patients with a documented loss of IDH mutation status longitudinally were resolved through multi-platform analysis. These findings support the hypothesis that IDH mutations occur early in gliomagenesis and in the absence of copy number changes at the IDH loci and are stable throughout tumour treatment and evolution. Our study highlights the importance of accurate surgical sampling and the role of DNA methylome profiling in diagnostically uncertain cases for integrated pathological and molecular diagnosis.
