These genetic data revealed novel classes of mutations that commonly occur in patients with myeloid malignancies, including epigenetic regulators and spliceosomal genes. In addition, co-occurrence and mutual exclusivity of these disease alleles suggest convergent cooperative roles or common biological effects of specific alleles in myeloid leukemogenesis (Shih et al., 2012). Somatic deletions and loss-of-function mutations in TET2, a member of the TET family which regulates DNA methylation, were identified in 10-20% of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) patients, 12-24% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and 40-50% of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) patients (Abdel-Wahab et al., 2009; Delhommeau et al., 2009; Jankowska et al., 2009; Langemeijer et al., 2009). Analysis carried out in large AML cohorts has shown that TET2 mutations are associated with adverse outcome in patients with intermediate-risk, cytogenetically normal AML (Patel et al., 2012). TET proteins (TET1-3) are Fe(II)- and...
