Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)

Abstract Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is associated with increased mortality and malignancy risk, yet the determinants of clonal expansion remain poorly understood. We performed sequencing at a depth of coverage of >4000× for CHIP mutations in 6976…

Abstract The TP53 gene ensures genetic fidelity by regulating cell cycle kinetics and apoptosis. In myeloid neoplasms, TP53 mutation is witnessed in 13% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Alterations in TP53 or its respective protein is…

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) could represent a biomarker for the early detection of TP53 mutations and for the prediction of a TP53 allelic state in patients with myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), according to data from an observational trial…

TP53 mutations are found in 10-15% of myeloid neoplasms and are one of its most important prognostic factors. Emerging data show that TP53 mutational allele status is a key determinant of clinical outcomes, with multi-hit TP53 mutant myeloid neoplasms having a very poor prognosis…

Key Points NK cells phenotyping reveals impaired cytotoxicity, chronic activation and exhaustion in VEXAS syndrome. Decreased circulating NK cells were independently associated with an increased risk of severe infections in VEXAS syndrome. VEXAS (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked…

Their research led to the 2022 approval of olutasidenib for certain patients with IDH1-mutant AML, which occurs in about 10% of AML. After that success, Dr. Watts and his team began to focus closely on testing the drug in MDS, a related condition that often progresses to AML. IDH…
