The International Consensus Classification (ICC) of hematologic neoplasms with germline predisposition, pediatric myelodysplastic syndrome, and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia

Martina Rudelius et al.

Summary: The classification of hematologic neoplasia is critical for diagnosis, therapy, research, and clinical trials. This review summarizes recent advances in the classification of myeloid and lymphoblastic neoplasia with germline predisposition, providing important genetic and phenotypic information, relevant laboratory testing, and pathological bone marrow features. It also focuses on the updated classification of pediatric myelodysplastic syndrome and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, highlighting the genetic definitions and distinguishing features.

Combinatorial BCL2 Family Expression in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Stem Cells Predicts Clinical Response to Azacitidine/Venetoclax

Alexander Waclawiczek et al.

Summary: The combination of the BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax (VEN) and azacitidine (5-AZA) is transforming the therapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, there is a lack of clinically relevant biomarkers to predict response to 5-AZA/VEN. This study identified leukemic stem cells (LSC) as primary targets of 5-AZA/VEN and developed a flow cytometry-based score (MAC-Score) that predicts patient response with a high positive predictive value.

Integrative study of EZH2 mutational status, copy number, protein expression and H3K27 trimethylation in AML/MDS patients

Julia Stomper et al.

Summary: Mutations in the EZH2 gene are commonly found in patients with myeloid neoplasms, often co-occurring with other mutations, and are associated with poor prognosis. These mutations result in decreased EZH2 expression and may predict inferior survival outcomes in patients with acute myeloid leukemia receiving standard chemotherapy.

EZH2/EHMT2 Histone Methyltransferases Inhibit the Transcription of DLX5 and Promote the Transformation of Myelodysplastic Syndrome to Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Zhuanzhen Zheng et al.

Summary: Research showed that the expression levels of EZH2 and EHMT2 varied in MDS patients and NHD13 mice, and their association with the transcription level of DLX5 and cell proliferation was observed.
