Description
Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2, which result in overproduction of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG). 2HG is considered to be an oncometabolite, or a metabolite that promotes carcinogenesis, and inhibitors of mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase are in development to target this process. The authors discovered that 2HG overproduction impairs homologous recombination used in DNA repair and sensitizes cancer cells to treatment with PARP inhibitors, another class of cancer drugs that are already in clinical use.
