Notes

R172K is the second IDH2 hotspot in AML (~20-30% of IDH2-mut AML; ~2-3% of all AML). Enasidenib (IDHIFA, AG-221) FDA-approved across both R140 and R172 variants. Some series (Stein et al., Blood 2017) suggest R172K carries lower CR rate than R140Q on enasidenib mono, but still substantial activity. Differentiation syndrome (~14%) and hyperbilirubinemia same as R140Q. Glioma IDH2 R172K is a separate clinical entity (vorasidenib INDIGO trial) — this biomarker is AML-scoped; glioma IDH2 captured under BIO-IDH-MUTATION composite. Triggers RF-AML-IDH2-MUT-ACTIONABLE (existing) for algorithm routing.
