Detection of IDH1 Mutations in Plasma Using BEAMing Technology in Patients with Gliomas.

ABSTRACT: Molecular testing using blood-based liquid biopsy approaches has not been widely investigated in patients with glioma. A prospective single-center study enrolled patients with gliomas ranging from grade II to IV. Peripheral blood (PB) was drawn at different timepoints for circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) monitoring. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used for the study of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutations in the primary tumor. Beads, Emulsion, Amplification and Magnetics (BEAMing) was used for the study of IDH1 mutations in plasma and correlated with the NGS results in the tumor. Between February 2017 and July 2018, ten patients were enrolled, six with IDH1-mutant and four with IDH1 wild-type gliomas. Among the six IDH-mutant gliomas, three had the same IDH1 mutation detected in
