Popis: Background: Gliomas are the most common and fatal adult brain tumor with distinct genomic subgroups defined by isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation status. Mutations in IDH result in overproduction of the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG). The landscape of metabolic changes that define gliomas has not previously been explored. Methods: We performed liquid chromotography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to examine over 700 metabolites on 90 fresh-frozen glioma samples (30 IDH-wildtype, 30 IDH-mutant 1p/19q codeleted, 30 IDH-mutant 1p/19q non-codeleted) from our institutional biobank. R and S enantiomers of 2HG were quantified using high pressure liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry coupled with a CHIROBIOTIC R column. Genome wide DNA methylation was performed on all tumors using Illumina 850k EPIC array. Unsupervised consensus clustering of differentially expressed metabolites and methylated post-processed probes was performed. Copy number variations were determined based on intensity values of the methylation array. Survival of unsupervised cluster groups was determined using the Kaplan-Meier Estimate. Results: Unsupervised clustering of 689 metabolites revealed 2 distinct subgroups of gliomas associated with recurrence-free survival (RFS, P = 0.021). IDH mutant tumours were found in both cluster groups where as IDH-wildtype tumors were found only in Group 2. Group 2 IDH-mutant tumors had unfavourable PFS, higher R/S-2HG levels, and higher proportion of copy number alterations (4q, 9p, 13q, 17q) compared to group 1 IDH-mutant tumors (P=0.048, P=0.0194, P
