Yttrium-90-labeled anti-CD45 antibody followed by a reduced-intensity hematopoietic cell transplantation for patients with relapsed/refractory leukemia or myelodysplasia.
X-linked neuropenia (XLN) is caused by gain-of-function mutations in WASp and associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
With the advent of next generation sequencing, recurrent somatic mutations in genes involved in epigenetic regulation (TET2, ASXL1, EZH2, DNMT3A, IDH1/2), RNA splicing (SF3B1, SRSF2, U2AF1, ZRSR2), DNA damage response (TP53), transcriptional regulation (RUNX1, BCOR, ETV6) and signal transduction (CBL, NRAS, JAK2) have been identified in MDS.

With fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis by use of BAC/PAC probes, we identified the breakpoint at 1p36.3 in three MDS/AML patients with t(1;3)(p36;q21): within the first intron of the MEL1 gene (one patient) or within a 29-kb region located in the 5' region of MEL1 (two other patients).

Whole-genome sequencing was performed in CD34(+) hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) from eight cases of refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB), the high-risk subtype of MDS.
Whole-arm translocation of der(5;17)(p10;q10) with concurrent TP53 mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS): A unique molecular-cytogenetic subgroup.
While we did not observe unique features among MDS-RS, mutations were noticeably absent in a significant number of MDS without RS (37% vs. 14%, P = 0.013), including TP53 mutations (0% vs.16.5%, P = 0.021) if ≥5% CD34 + hematogones were present.
While the majority of mutations were constitutional, a RUNX1 mutation present in the peripheral blood at a 51% variant allele fraction was confirmed to be somatically acquired in one myelodysplastic syndrome patient.
While normal marrow showed negligible expression of TRAIL and receptors (except TRAIL-R3), TRAIL and all receptors were constitutively expressed in MDS marrow.
While establishing a cell culture model for myelodysplastic syndrome with a deletion in 5q by performing RPS14 knockdown, we found surprising data that may be of importance for any CD34+ cell culture experiments.
While CD34 stem/progenitor cells do not express TRAIL-receptors and are protected from TRAIL-induced apoptosis, accumulating evidence points to a role for elevated expression/release of TRAIL at the bone marrow level in the pathophysiology of aplastic anemia, Fanconi anemia, and myelodysplastic syndromes.
