Test Details
The immunohistochemistry isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH-1) test is a diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of IDH-1 protein in tissue samples. IDH-1 is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism and is found in various tissues throughout the body.
Mutations in the IDH-1 gene have been associated with certain types of cancer, most notably gliomas, which are tumors that develop in the brain and spinal cord. The IDH-1 mutation is considered a biomarker for these tumors and can help guide treatment decisions and predict patient prognosis.
The IDH-1 immunohistochemistry test involves staining tissue samples with specific antibodies that can bind to the IDH-1 protein. The presence of the protein is then visualized using a microscope. A positive result indicates the presence of the IDH-1 protein, suggesting the presence of an IDH-1 mutation.
This test is commonly used in pathology laboratories to aid in the diagnosis and classification of gliomas and other IDH-1-associated cancers. It can also be used to monitor treatment response and disease progression in patients with these tumors.
It is important to note that the IDH-1 immunohistochemistry test is just one component of a comprehensive diagnostic workup for cancer patients. Other tests, such as molecular genetic testing and imaging studies, may also be necessary to provide a complete picture of the patient’s condition.
