We demonstrated that qPCR or NGS performed in reference genetic laboratories, rather than IHC, is the most reliable method for IDH1/2 analysis. Clinicians should be aware of discrepancies in MLPA or IHC results and seek reconsultation in facilities with extensive access to advanced molecular technologies. Moreover, we proposed a new algorithm for the molecular diagnostic procedures in glioma patients based on the WHO CNS5.
