antithymocyte globulin
antithymocyte globulin:
ATG is an immunosuppressant, a drug that lowers the body's immune response. It is typically used with cyclosporine as the first-line immunosuppressive therapy (IS) to treat patients with acquired aplastic anemia. In some cases it is used as a treatment for patients with MDS and PNH.

To the editorU2 small nuclear RNA auxiliary factor 1 (U2AF1) is one of the most frequently mutated genes in myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) [1, 2]. U2AF1 mutations predominantly occur at two hotspots (S34, Q157) within two zinc finger domains and disrupt pre-mRNA splicing by altering RNA binding specificity, with S34 and Q157 variants affecting nucleotide recognition at the −3 and +1 positions of…

SummaryDonor cell-derived haematological neoplasms (DDHN) are rare disorders and currently do not have standardised diagnostic criteria and therapeutic management. International experts in allogeneic transplantation and haematological malignancies from Europe, the Americas, and Australia worked together on behalf of the EBMT Practice Harmonisation and Guidelines Committee to delineate a pragmatic…

The timing of TP53
mutation
mutation:
Any change or alteration in a gene. A mutation may cause disease or may be a normal variation. Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) occurs because of a mutation in the PIG-A gene of a single stem cell in the bone marrow.
acquisition carries important prognostic implications for patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) and…

Summary
This UK-based retrospective analysis describes real-world treatment patterns and outcomes in 175 patients with accelerated (AP, n = 69) or blast-phase (BP, n = 106) ‘Philadelphia-negative’ myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN-AP/BP) diagnosed between 2013 and 2025. Median age at transformation was 71 years. With a median follow-up of 45.2 months, median overall survival (OS) was 14.9 months…

Key Points
A large retrospective study evaluating association between pregnancy after HCT with both conditioning protocols and assisted reproduction.
Findings include that some protocols appear more sterilizing than others and the impact of assisted reproduction is substantial.

bone marrow failure:
A condition that occurs when the bone marrow stops making enough healthy blood cells. The most common of these rare diseases are aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Bone marrow failure can be acquired (begin any time in life) or can be…

Correspondence
The Myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative neoplasm (MDS/MPN) overlap syndromes are a heterogeneous group of rare hematologic malignancies characterized by features of both MDS such as morphologic dysplasia and cytopenias and MPNs including elevated blood counts and often splenomegaly [1]. These syndromes frequently harbor recurrent mutations, underscoring their interrelated biological…
