2-hydroxyglutarate
2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) is a metabolite that accumulates in the brains of patients with IDH1 mutated (IDH1 positive) brain tumors, particularly diffuse low-grade gliomas. Although not in widespread clinical use, it is likely that 2-hydroxyglutarate, which resonates at 2.25 ppm, will be able to ...
