DNMT3A mutation

The involvement of age-induced genetic/epigenetic alterations in BM niche cells and immunological stressors in hematopoiesis is crucial for understanding the development of age-related hematological malignancies. This comprehensive review provides new insights into the complex interplay between niche cells and HSCs, emphasizing the potential for novel therapeutic approaches that target niche cell functionality and resilience to improve hematopoietic outcomes in the context of aging and metabolic disorders.

Our findings contribute to a comprehensive characterization of NPM1-mutated AML, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and aiding in the detailed classification of the disease. This information may potentially guide targeted therapies or differentiation-based treatment strategies.

(b) As ICB-exposed patients continue to live longer, the myeloid clonal expansion may portend an increased risk for subsequent myeloid malignancy development. Until now, the selective pressure of ICB/T-cell activating therapies on hematopoietic stem cells were less known and we report preliminary evidence of clonal expansion in epigenetic modifier genes (also referred to as inflammatory CH genes).

The patient achieved hematological CR on day 163 and remained in molecular CR 3 years after allo-HCT without adverse effects. Quizartinib combined with DLI may be a feasible treatment for early relapse of FLT3-ITD-positive AML after allo-HCT, even with concurrent DNMT3A and NPM1 mutations.

We also discuss how disease mutations affect DNMT3A and DNMT3B oligomerisation, a process that is poorly understood in the context of whole proteins in cells. This dissection of de novo DNMT function using disease-causing mutations provides a paradigm of how genetics and biochemistry can synergise to drive our understanding of the mechanisms through which chromatin misregulation causes human disease.

Chronic inflammation also drives metabolic reprogramming and immune system deregulation, further promoting the expansion of malignant clones. This review underscores the urgent need to fully elucidate the role of inflammation in MDS initiation and highlights the potential of the therapeutical targeting of inflammatory pathways as an early intervention in MDS.

There was no significant difference in event-free survival (EFS) or overall survival (OS) between the patients with and without CH-mutations at CMR or between the patients without allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) of the two groups. In conclusion, our results suggested that CH-mutations probably did not have prognostic significance in patients with NPM1c AML who achieved CMR, and may be inappropriately for MRD monitoring.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and prognosis of CLAG±DAC (Clofarabine, Cytarabine, G-CSF±Decitabine) chemotherapy in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML) . The remission rate was relatively higher in patients with R/R AML combined with FLT3-ITD mutation by applying the DAC+CLAG regimen (OR=10.84, 95%CI 1.48-288.50, P=0.04) . The CLAG±DAC regimen is considered effective in patients with R/R AML, whereas decitabine combined with the CLAG regimen is more suitable for patients with R/R AML combined with FLT3-ITD mutation.

Polθ inhibitors enhanced the anti-leukemic effects of mainstream drugs such as FLT3 kinase inhibitor quizartinib, cytarabine and etoposide in vitro and in mice with FLT3(ITD);DNMT3Amut leukemia. Altogether, Polθ is an attractive target in DNMT3Amut hematological malignancies.

This report highlights the rarity of BIA-FA-LBCL and underscores the importance of comprehensive capsule sampling and reporting to national databases for accurate characterization and management of these lymphomas. The study supports the classification of BIA-FA-LBCL within the spectrum of FA-LBCL, emphasizing the need for further research to elucidate its molecular underpinnings and improve clinical outcomes.

The recognition of certain CHIP mutations as promoters of atherosclerotic risk has opened new insights into understanding of the pathophysiology of this disease. The accentuated cardiovascular risk and involvement of distinct pathways of various forms of CHIP also inform novel approaches to allocation of targeted therapies, affording a step toward personalized medicine.

Patients with IL7R mutations have higher NRM, shorter OS, and EFS than patients without IL7R mutations, even patients who have undergone HSCT. Future larger and multicentric prospective studies will be explored.

Longitudinal molecular analysis of 12 cases with biallelic DNMT3AMT demonstrated that such clones persisted or expanded in 9 relapsed or transformed cases (75%) suggesting the early origin of biallelic hits with strong leukemogenic potential. Our study describes the likelihood that biallelic DNMT3AMT, while rare, are indeed compatible with clonal expansion and thus questions the applicability of synthetic lethality strategies.

In summary, MDS with NK showed distinct mutation features from those with AK. High-frequency gene mutations together with the mutational evolution suggested the diagnostic and monitoring significance of next generation sequencing for NK-MDS.

NGS may enhance MF diagnosis, as the detection of pathogenic variants, particularly those known to occur in MF, favors a neoplastic diagnosis over an inflammatory diagnosis. Continuing this work may lead to the discovery of therapeutic targets.

Clonal hematopoiesis of DNMT3A may have a crucial role in the coexistence of MM and AML and Venetoclax-based regimens reveal favorable treatment responses. However, drug resistance still needs to be considered, and further research is required to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and treatment strategies.

This suggests that cytoreduction may not be necessary to reduce bleeding risk based only on a platelet count of 1 million. We identified novel risk factors for bleeding in ET patients including diabetes mellitus and the DNMT3A mutation.

Transformation of EBV positive PCMZL appears to be a poor prognostic indicator, with our reported case being the first well defined case transformed to PBL, suspected to arise from myeloid-CH.

In AML patients with NPM1 mutation, the detrimental impact of FLT3-ITD mutation was exacerbated by DNMT3A co-mutation. Poor-risk younger patients identified by FLT3-ITD and DNMT3A co-mutations or MRD2 < 3 log reduction benefit from allo-HSCT.

Here, we report a comprehensive analysis of baseline MCH mutational landscape in pts enrolled in the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL) MCL0208 phase 3 trial (NCT 02354313), evaluating lenalidomide maintenance vs observation after chemoimmunotherapy and ASCT in untreated MCL pts ≤ 65 years...In conclusion, we provided the M-CH mutational landscape at baseline in younger MCL pts and we showed for the first time the unfavorable clinical impact of large CH clones on MCL progression. Figure 1.

DTA mutations are frequently observed in patients with MDS, often accompanied by genes involved in RNA splicing and transcription factors like SF3B1 and RUNX1. DTA and concomitant mutations affect prognosis in MDS patients and RUNX1 was identified as an independent poor prognostic factor in patients with DTA mutations.

This study reveals how age-associated somatic mutations in the microenvironment may be driving DCC reactivation and relapse. These findings may provide a new genetic biomarker of relapse and inform CH-targeted trials to improve breast cancer patient outcomes.

CS1 showed good sensitivity to cytarabine, while CS2 was sensitive to RXR agonists...With advancements in sequencing technology and machine learning algorithms, AML is poised to transition towards multi-omics precision medicine in the future. We aspire for our study to offer new perspectives on multi-drug combination clinical trials and multi-targeted precision medicine for AML.

Thus, early CH-associated mutations that precede malignant transformation subsequently shape the evolutionary trajectories of AML through diagnosis, therapy, and relapse. DNMT3A , TET2 and ASXL1 mutations persist through AML-directed therapy Distinct CH-related mutations shape the evolutionary trajectories of AML from diagnosis through relapse.

Several melphalan-exposed patients had SBS99 evident in the phylogenetic tree trunk of multiple biopsies, consistent with single cells surviving transplant and subsequently seeding in multiple sites. PMD and EMD demonstrate multiple features of genomic complexity when compared with BM-based myeloma, including emerging copy number aberration, mutational burden, and complex structural variants. Ongoing studies include expanding the WGS dataset, and correlation of genomic features with clinical response to therapy.

In MPN patients, however, initial driver mutations such as those in JAK2 and DNMT3A have been shown to be acquired in utero or during childhood. In this review, I will summarize the recent findings about clonal evolution in MPN and the role of driver mutations.

Here, we characterized the mutational landscape at baseline and progression of SCLC patients (pts) from IMfirst (EudraCT: 2019-002784-10), a phase IIIb study that evaluates the safety of atezolizumab + carboplatin/cisplatin + etoposide in ES-SCLC in Spain. Tissue and liquid biopsies were analyzed by FoundationONE®CDx and FoundationOne®Liquid, respectively. This exploratory analysis provides a detailed profiling of the molecular alterations found in ES-SCLC pts from IMfirst, assessed by solid and liquid biopsies at baseline and progression. The potential prognostic value of the identified genes should be further validated.

Our study integrates karyotype, gene rearrangements, and gene mutation results to provide a further understanding of AML heterogeneity and evolution. We demonstrate the clinical relevance of specific mutations and clonal evolution patterns, emphasizing the need for personalized therapies and measurable residual disease monitoring in AML management. By bridging the gap between genetics and clinical outcome, we move closer to tailored AML therapies and improved patient prognoses.

Aims: Here, we report a comprehensive analysis of baseline M-CHIP mutational landscape in pts enrolled in theFondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL) MCL0208 phase 3 trial (NCT 02354313), evaluating lenalidomide (LEN)maintenance vs observation after chemoimmunotherapy and ASCT in untreated MCL pts ≤ 65 years... In conclusion, we provided the M-CHIP mutational landscape at baseline in younger MCL pts from aprospective clinical trial and we showed for the first time the unfavorable clinical impact of large CH clones onMCL progression. Further studies are ongoing on CH mutations detected during follow-up.

Highly heterogeneous molecular genetic profile is present in patients from adverse risk group. Mutations ingenes that activate intracellular signaling pathways are most common in high-risk AML. The presence of morethan 6 mutations and ASXL1mut+ and SRSF2mut+ status negatively affect the survival of patients.

NPM1 mutations were identified in 21. 7% of 1,520 patients. Patients with NPM1mut were older and had higherWBC counts and LDH levels, and more often had a normal karyotype, but less adverse cytogenetic features,including monosomal karyotype and MR cytogenetic abnormalities at diagnosis compared to NPM1wtpatients.

The cumulative incidence of at least one reported malignancy was lower for patients with TET2 mutations treated with canakinumab vs those treated with placebo. These findings support a potential role for canakinumab in cancer prevention and provide evidence of IL-1β blockade cooperating with CH mutations to modify the disease course.

ddPCR-MRD is a feasible approach to predict relapse after allo-HSCT in AML/MDS patients with non-DTA genes and is more accurate when combined with MFC.

Retrospective clinical review where possible showed that 83% (28/34) UBA1-mutant cases had VEXAS-associated diagnoses or inflammatory clinical presentation. The prevalence of UBA1-mutations in MDS patients argues for systematic screening for UBA1 in the management of MDS.

Moreover, we observed a tendency of CHIP-positive patients to achieve a suboptimal response to therapy compared to those without. A sub-clone dynamic of high-fitness mutations over time was confirmed.

MPN-BP and AML-MR harbor similar somatic mutations and clinical outcomes, suggesting a unified clinical disease entity.

At a median follow-up of 32.5 months, the presence of CHIP was not associated with worse overall survival or major organ dysfunction progression-free survival. Larger studies and longer follow-up are needed to better define the impact of CHIP in patients with AL amyloidosis.

Here, we analyzed 423 serial whole blood and plasma samples from 103 patients with relapsed high-grade ovarian cancer receiving carboplatin, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) and heat shock protein 90 inhibitor (HSP90i) treatment within the phase II EUDARIO trial using error-corrected sequencing of 72 genes...Together, these results provide unique insights into the architecture and the preferential selection of DDR-mutated hematopoietic clones under intense DNA-damaging treatment. Specifically, PARPi and HSP90i therapies pose an independent risk for the expansion of DDR-CH in a dose-dependent manner.

The presence of TP53 and/or PPM1D mutations in the PBSC product increases the risk of post-aPBSCT t-MN and nonrelapse mortality among patients with HL and may support alternative therapeutic strategies.

Our biochemical, cellular, and genomic DNA methylation analyses demonstrate that introducing the DNMT3B-converting mutations inhibits the R882H-/R882C-triggered DNMT3A polymerization and enhances substrate access, thereby eliminating the dominant-negative effect of the DNMT3A R882 mutations in cells. Together, this study provides mechanistic insights into DNMT3A R882 mutations-triggered aberrant oligomerization and DNA hypomethylation in AML, with important implications in cancer therapy.
