Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcquired aplastic anemia (AA) in children is a rare bone marrow failure that requires several special considerations for its diagnosis and treatment compared with that in adults. The most common issue is the differential diagnosis with refractory cytopenia of childhood and inherited bone marrow failure syndromes, which is crucial for making decisions on the appropriate treatment for pediatric AA. In addition to detailed morphological evaluation, a comprehensive diagnostic work-up that includes genetic analysis using next-generation se...

GSE225613 Loss of Dnajc21 leads to cytopenia and altered nucleotide metabolism in zebrafish
Contributors : S Ketharnathan ; S V PrykhozhijSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Danio rerioMutations in the DNAJC21 gene were recently described in Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS), a bone marrow failure syndrome with high predisposition for myeloid malignancies. To study the underlying biology in hematopoiesis regulation and disease, we generated the first in vivo model of Dnajc21 deficiency using zebrafish. Zebrafish dnajc21 mutants phenocopy key SDS patient phenotypes such as cytopenia, reduced growth and defective ribosome biogenesis. We show that cytopenia results from impaire...

The International Consensus Classification (ICC) of hematologic neoplasms with germline predisposition, pediatric myelodysplastic syndrome, and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia
AbstractUpdating the classification of hematologic neoplasia with germline predisposition, pediatric myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) is critical for diagnosis, therapy, research, and clinical trials. Advances in next-generation sequencing technology have led to the identification of an expanding group of genes that predispose to the development of hematolymphoid neoplasia when mutated in germline configuration and inherited. This review encompasses recent advances in the classification of myeloid and lymphoblastic neoplasia with germline predisposition summarizing important genet...

Lack of impact of the ALDH2 rs671 variant on breast cancer development in Japanese BRCA1/2 ‐mutation carriers
The common ALDH2 variant rs671 severely aggravates DNA repair-deficient disorder Fanconi anemia, and it is expected that breast cancer developed in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers are similarly affected. Now we elucidated this is not the case in the actual patient cohort, highlighting cell type-specific differences in the protection/detoxification mediated by ALDH2. AbstractThe aldehyde degrading function of the ALDH2 enzyme is impaired by Glu504Lys polymorphisms (rs671, termed A allele), which causes alcohol flushing in east Asians, and elevates the risk of esophageal cancer among habitual drinkers. Recent studies suggested tha...

Acquired and hereditary bone marrow failure: A mitochondrial perspective
The disorders known as bone marrow failure syndromes (BMFS) are life-threatening disorders characterized by absence of one or more hematopoietic lineages in the peripheral blood. Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are now considered BMF disorders with associated cellular dysplasia. BMFs and MDS are caused by decreased fitness of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and poor hematopoiesis. BMF and MDS can occur de novo or secondary to hematopoietic stress, including following bone marrow transplantation or myeloablative therapy. De novo BMF and MDS are usually associated with specific genetic mutations. Genes that are commonly mutat...
