Personalized Prediction Model to Risk Stratify Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndromes

Aziz Nazha et al.

Summary: This study developed a personalized prediction model for MDS patients using machine learning techniques and incorporating clinical and genomic data, which showed superior performance in predicting survival and leukemia transformation probabilities compared to established models. The model was validated in external cohorts, demonstrating its potential for dynamic and accurate prognostic predictions at different time points in a patient's disease course.

Hypoplastic Myelodysplastic Syndromes: Just an Overlap Syndrome?

Bruno Fattizzo et al.

Summary: Hypoplastic myelodysplastic syndromes (hMDS) pose a diagnostic challenge, blending features of both MDS (dysplasia, genetic lesions, cytopenias) and aplastic anemia (low cellularity, autoimmunity). There are two potential hMDS phenotypes: one proinflammatory and autoimmune, resembling AA and responding to immunosuppression; the other MDS-like, dominated by genetic lesions and prone to leukemic evolution. Personalized treatment and monitoring based on the predominant hMDS phenotype may be beneficial for patient management.

Clinical and prognostic significance of small paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria clones in myelodysplastic syndrome and aplastic anemia

Bruno Fattizzo et al.

Summary: In this large single-center study, a high prevalence of small and very small PNH clones was reported among patients tested. PNH positivity was associated with better response to immunosuppressive therapy and stem cell transplant, as well as a more favorable impact on disease progression, leukemic evolution and overall survival, highlighting the importance of systematic PNH testing in patients with bone marrow failures.

Large Granular Lymphocyte Expansion in Myeloid Diseases and Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes: Whoever Seeks Finds

Bruno Fattizzo et al.

Summary: LGL clones, characterized by T-cell or natural killer phenotype, have been detected in various clinical conditions, especially in relation to myeloid neoplasms and bone marrow failures. Pathogenically, LGL clones seem to expand after myeloid therapies, while immunosuppression leading to LGL depletion may favor leukemic escape, necessitating caution.

Somatic mutations in lymphocytes in patients with immune-mediated aplastic anemia

Sofie Lundgren et al.

Summary: Somatic mutations in T cells are common in immune-mediated aplastic anemia (AA) patients, especially enriched in CD8+ T cells, which accumulate mutations on JAK-STAT and MAPK pathways. Successful immunosuppressive treatment can attenuate mutated clones in some patients, suggesting mutations can alter T-cell phenotype. Further investigation of the role of mutations in the pathogenesis of AA is warranted.

Autoimmune Complications in Hematologic Neoplasms

Wilma Barcellini et al.

Summary: This review discusses the occurrence and clinical features of autoimmune cytopenias and other autoimmune diseases in various lymphoid and myeloid neoplasms, highlighting the higher prevalence in certain subtypes and the challenges in diagnosis and management. It also emphasizes the complications in patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplant or new checkpoint inhibitors, with these complications impacting patient outcomes.
