The present study aimed at identifying metabolomic predictors of malignancy in IDH-mutant gliomas, using ex-vivo High-Resolution Magic Angle Spinning Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H-HRMAS-MRS). Our results suggest that high-grade IDH-mutant gliomas show distinct metabolomic differences compared to low-grade cases. 1H-HRMAS-MRS has clinical applicability, yieldieng the potential to distinguish more aggressive and malignant IDH-mutant gliomas from indolent low-grade tumors.
