Low grade gliomas with mutations in the isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) gene carry a significant survival advantage, and have recently been shown to manifest excessive production of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG). Given the potential prognostic value of 2HG as an onco-metabolite, we sought to characterize differences in metabolite levels between gliomas of distinct origin and grade using
