Deskripsi
Mitochondrial metabolism has been associated with tumourigenesis in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and currently considered as a potential therapeutic target. Here, the authors show, in patients with AML, that germline mutations in mitochondrial complex I are mutually exclusive with somatic mutations in the metabolic enzyme IDH1, and find IDH1 mutant cells have increased sensitivity to complex I inhibitors.
