We describe a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay for measurement of
d-2-hydroxyglutaric acid and l-2-hydroxyglutaric acid. These metabolites are increased in
specific inborn errors of metabolism and are now recognized as oncometabolites. The
measurement of d-2-hydroxyglutarate in peripheral blood may be used as a biomarker for
screening and follow-up of patients with IDH-mutated acute myeloid leukemia.
