Efficient and non-invasive, liquid biopsy methods could greatly improve the molecular classification of gliomas. Here, the authors develop an RNA-based Droplet Digital PCR assay to detect the key IDH1.R132H mutation in plasma-derived extracellular vesicles from glioma patients with high sensitivity, allowing accurate diagnosis, prognostication and longitudinal monitoring.
