Spectrum of IDH-mutant tumors in Ollier-Maffucci disease: the triple interaction theory by Emmanuel Mandonnet, Thomas Funck-Brentano, Jean-Philippe Hugnot, Mehdi Touat

“…This can be due i/ to the disappearance in some tissue of the IDH-mutated clone due to negative selection pressure later in embryo development ii/ to the lack of expression of the IDH1 protein in specific cell types iii/ to a functional cell state not leading to the accumulation of the oncometabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2HG) in that tissue/organ. - Second, generalizing the recent understanding of the gliomagenesis in the general population bearing the rs55705857 G-allele variant at 8q24.21, we postulate that OD-MS patients with an inheritable predisposing single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) are more likely to develop a malignancy, with a specific SNP for each kind of tumor/organ. …”
