SF3B1 mutated MDS: Blast count, genetic co-abnormalities and their impact on classification and prognosis

Sandra Huber et al.

Summary: This study found that MDS with mutated SF3B1 and blast count <5% has distinct characteristics in terms of genomic landscape, AML transformation rate, and clinical outcome. Patients who fulfilled the proposed SF3B1 entity criteria had longer survival, lower AML transformation rate, normal karyotypes, and fewer accompanying mutations compared to those who did not meet the criteria. Additionally, del(5q) and RUNX1 mutations were identified as independent negative prognostic factors for overall survival.

The effect of 5-azacytidine treatment delays and dose reductions on the prognosis of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome: how to optimize treatment results and outcomes

Panagiotis T. Diamantopoulos et al.

Summary: The study found that treatment delays, particularly during the first two cycles, may have an adverse effect on survival for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome receiving 5-azacytidine. Dose reductions were not found to significantly impact prognosis, while delays were shown to affect the time to achieve treatment response for patients.

Clinical, biological, and prognostic implications of SF3B1 co-occurrence mutations in very low/low- and intermediate-risk MDS patients

Kamila Janusz et al.

Summary: SF3B1 is a highly mutated gene in MDS patients, often associated with a good prognosis in MDS without excess blasts. Patients with SF3B1 mutations also commonly have additional myeloid gene mutations, and having at least two concurrent mutations with SF3B1 can negatively impact survival. The co-occurrence of SF3B1 mutations with specific genes is linked to a poorer prognosis in MDS patients.

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.
