Molecular characterization of mutant TP53 acute myeloid leukemia and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome

Tim Grob et al.

Summary: Mutant TP53 AML and MDS-EB share similar molecular characteristics and survival outcomes, suggesting that they should be considered as distinct molecular disease entities.

TP53 mutation defines a unique subgroup within complex karyotype de novo and therapy-related MDS/AML

Olga K. Weinberg et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinicopathologic features and outcomes of AML and MDS patients with complex karyotype (CK). The presence of TP53 mutation, especially multihit TP53 mutation, in the context of CK, identified a homogeneously aggressive disease, irrespective of blast count or therapy-relatedness.

High-resolution structural variant profiling of myelodysplastic syndromes by optical genome mapping uncovers cryptic aberrations of prognostic and therapeutic significance

Hui Yang et al.

Summary: Chromosome banding analysis (CBA) is currently the standard method for assessing structural variants (SVs) in MDS. This study explores the clinical value of optical genome mapping (OGM) in MDS patients, and finds that OGM can detect clinically significant SVs that are cryptic by CBA. OGM also provides important information at the gene/exon level and improves prognosis prediction.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Myelodysplastic Syndromes A Review

Mikkael A. Sekeres et al.

Summary: MDS is a hematopoietic malignancy with bone marrow dysplasia and decreased blood cell numbers. Treatment varies based on disease characteristics, from supportive care to hypomethylating agents for high-risk patients. Hematopoietic cell transplantation is potentially curative for high-risk MDS.

Therapy-related myelodysplastic syndromes deserve specific diagnostic sub-classification and risk-stratification-an approach to classification of patients with t-MDS

A. Kuendgen et al.

Summary: The study shows that therapy-related myelodysplastic syndromes (t-MDS) are as heterogeneous as primary MDS, and require the same careful differentiation regarding risk. Despite less favorable clinical outcomes in t-MDS subsets compared to primary MDS, classification and prognostic scoring effectively separated t-MDS patients into different risk groups.

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.

Classification and Personalized Prognostic Assessment on the Basis of Clinical and Genomic Features in Myelodysplastic Syndromes

Matteo Bersanelli et al.

Summary: The study identified eight distinct subgroups of MDS based on specific genomic features, each with different prognostic outcomes. By integrating clinical and genomic variables, a novel prognostic model was developed to provide personalized survival predictions for MDS patients. This model significantly improved the accuracy of current prognostic tools and has the potential to revolutionize disease classification and prognosis in the future.

Biologic Assignment Trial of Reduced-Intensity Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Based on Donor Availability in Patients 50-75 Years of Age With Advanced Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Ryotaro Nakamura et al.

Summary: The study compared allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with other treatments for patients aged 50-75 with intermediate-2 or high-risk de novo MDS, and found that HCT with a matched donor significantly improved 3-year overall survival rate and leukemia-free survival rate.

Current challenges and unmet medical needs in myelodysplastic syndromes

Uwe Platzbecker et al.

Summary: Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a heterogeneous group of myeloid neoplasms characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis, variable cytopenias, and a risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia. Current treatments for MDS lack a clear standard of care, and there is a need for new, more effective but tolerable strategies. Advances in molecular diagnostics have improved understanding of the genetic abnormalities driving MDS, necessitating complex personalized treatment approaches.

Peri-transfusion quality-of-life assessment for patients with myelodysplastic syndromes

Gregory A. Abel et al.

Summary: The study found that conducting QOL assessments around transfusions is feasible for patients with MDS. While some patients experienced significant improvements in QOL scores after transfusion, many others did not achieve the intended QOL improvement. Therefore, PTQA can provide information to support a strategy for shared decision-making.
