    Combined immunohistochemistry of ATRX (dianova clone AX1) and IDH1R132H (dianova clone H09)
    substitutes molecular testing.

    The routine practical approach for diagnosing astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas begins with perfoming IHC for ATRX and IDH1 R132H expression. Stepwise analysis of molecular parameters with initial IHC for ATRX and IDH1 R132H followed by 1p/19q analysis and then by IDH sequencing significantly reduces the number of molecular tests required for unequivocal diagnosis (Reuss et al., 2015).

    Background

    ATRX mutation, IDH1 mutation and chromosomal 1p/19q co-deletion are key molecular factors for the subtype diagnosis of diffuse gliomas. ATRX mutations in gliomas result in the loss of nuclear ATRX expression, which can be diagnosed by IHC analysis. Loss of ATRX expression is close to being mutually exclusive to 1p/19q co-deletion in IDH1 mutated tumors. Consequently, ATRX immunohistochemistry can be performed to replace laborious analysis of 1p/19q status by FISH techniques.
