DNA and RNA NGS for Myeloid Neoplasms Using Oncomine Myeloid Assay GX v2 on GeneXus: An Assessment of Clinical Utility (AMP 2024)

This DNA- and RNA-based 80-gene panel has proven to be a powerful tool for genomic profiling of myeloid neoplasms. The results were provided to hematopathologists/oncologists in timely fashion with the critical information for diagnosis confirmation, and disease classification, as well as assessment of patient response to treatment.

Prognostic impact of next-generation sequencing on myelodysplastic syndrome: A single-center experience. (PubMed, Medicine (Baltimore))

According to early findings, NGS panels are extremely effective instruments that provide an entirely new viewpoint on the disease for particular individuals. Future prognostications will depend more on NGS because those who exhibit normal cytogenetics may additionally have gene mutations.

Hyperactivation of NF-κB signaling in splicing factor mutant myelodysplastic syndromes and therapeutic approaches. (PubMed, Adv Biol Regul)

The potent IRAK4 inhibitor CA-4948 has shown efficacy in both pre-clinical studies and MDS clinical trials, with splicing factor mutant patients showing the higher response rates. Emerging data has, however, revealed that co-targeting of IRAK4 and its paralog IRAK1 is required to maximally suppress LSPC function in vitro and in vivo by inducing cellular differentiation. These findings provide a link between the presence of the commonly mutated splicing factor genes and activation of innate immune signaling pathways in myeloid malignancies and have important implications for targeted therapy in these disorders.

Therapeutic strategies targeting aberrant RNA splicing in myeloid malignancies. (PubMed, Br J Haematol)

Mutations in spliceosomal components have been identified in numerous cancer subtypes, with mutations in RNA binding proteins SF3B1, SRSF2, U2AF1, and ZRSR2 occurring frequently in AML and in up to 60% of patients with MDS, as well as in chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia and in 10% of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. In this review, we explore therapeutic strategies targeting aberrant splicing and the potential of these approaches to drive clinical responses.

Interestingly, HBEC3kts harboring only U2AF1 S34F display increased splicing in stress granule protein genes and viability in cigarette smoke concentrate. Our results suggest that U2AF1 S34F may potentiate transformation by granting precancerous cells survival advantage in environmental stress, permitting accumulation of additional mutations like KRAS G12V , which synergize with U2AF1 S34F to transform the cell.

Biological relevance of alternative splicing in hematologic malignancies. (PubMed, Mol Med)

Finally, we provide an extensive overview of the biological relevance of aberrant isoforms of genes involved in the regulation of apoptosis (e. g. BCL-X, MCL-1, FAS, and c-FLIP), activation of key cellular signaling pathways (CASP8, MAP3K7, and NOTCH2), and cell metabolism (PKM).

CLONAL EVOLUTION IN SECUNDARY ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA ARISING FROM MYELOPROLIFERATIVE NEOPLASMS (EHA 2024)

Our data suggest that secondary AML arising from MPNs is a genetically distinct entity compared to de novoAML, with a higher incidence of mutations in high-risk genes such as TP53, a high rate of relapse/refractorinessand poor prognosis with current therapeutic strategies. NGS determination of somatic mutations could identifyhigh-risk-progression patients, and monitoring these mutations could be useful, along with other clinical data,to anticipate progression.

Primary myelofibrosis with double mutation in U2AF1 (PubMed, Rinsho Ketsueki)

Although U2AF1 gene abnormality is known as a poor prognostic factor in primary myelofibrosis, this patient had a favorable long-term prognosis due to prompt transplantation therapy. This case highlights the importance of detailed gene mutation analysis in patients with triple-negative MF.

Genetic landscape and clinical outcomes of patients with BCOR mutated myeloid neoplasms. (PubMed, Haematologica)

However, RUNX1 co-mutation was associated with an increased risk of post-alloSCT relapse (HR 88.0, P = 0.02), whereas melphalan-based conditioning was associated with a decreased relapse-risk (HR 0.02, P = 0.01). We conclude that mBCOR is a high-risk feature across MDS/AML and that alloSCT improves survival in this population.

Analysis of gene mutation characteristics and its correlation with prognosis in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes. (PubMed, Clin Chim Acta)

Additionally, the study developed a risk score based on gene mutation data that demonstrated robust predictive capability and stability for the overall survival of MDS patients. Our research provided a strong theoretical basis for the establishment of personalized treatment and prognostic risk assessment models for Chinese MDS patients.

Genetic Characteristics of Patients with Young-Onset Myelodysplastic Neoplasms. (PubMed, J Clin Med)

In conclusion, a germline predisposition to myeloid neoplasms occurred in ~16% of young-onset MDS patients and was largely associated with primary immunodeficiencies, including GATA2 deficiency. Furthermore, the high frequency of somatic U2AF1 mutations in patients with young-onset MDS suggests the presence of a distinct MDS subtype.

Global analysis of binding sites of U2AF1 and ZRSR2 reveals RNA elements required for mutually exclusive splicing by the U2- and U12-type spliceosome. (PubMed, Nucleic Acids Res)

The class switch of introns by a single mutation and the bias against G at the -1 position of U12-type 5' splice site support the notion that the identities of nucleotides in exonic regions adjacent to splice sites are fine-tuned to avoid recognition by the U2-type spliceosome. These findings may shed light on the mechanism of selectivity in U12-type intron splicing and the mutations that affect splicing.
