Adding MYC/BCL2 double expression to NCCN-IPI may not improve prognostic value to an acceptable level
CONCLUSIONS: Adding DE to the NCCN-IPI may not improve the prognostic value to an acceptable level in resource-limited settings. Multiple independent confirmatory studies from a large cohort of lymphoma registries have provided additional evidence for the clinical utility of DE.PMID:38485822 | PMC:PMC10903517 | DOI:10.1007/s44313-024-00006-w (Source: Blood Research)

Genomic testing for germline predisposition to hematologic malignancies
Blood Res. 2024 Mar 8;59(1):12. doi: 10.1007/s44313-024-00012-y.ABSTRACTGermline predisposition (GPD) to hematological malignancies has gained interest because of the increased use of genetic testing in this field. Recent studies have suggested that GPD is underrecognized and requires appropriate genomic testing for an accurate diagnosis. Identification of GPD significantly affects patient management and has diverse implications for family members. This review discusses the reasons for testing GPD in hematologic malignancies and explores the considerations necessary for appropriate genomic testing. The aim is to provide in...

Upregulation of lnc-FOXD2-AS1, CDC45, and CDK1 in patients with primary non-M3 AML is associated with a worse prognosis
In this study, we performed an in-silico method to identify antisense RNAs (AS-RNAs) and their related co-expression genes. GSE68172 was selected from the AML database of the Gene Expression Omnibus and compared using the GEO2R tool to find DEGs. Antisense RNAs were selected from all the genes that had significant expression and a survival plot was drawn for them in the GEPIA database, FOXD2-AS1 was chosen for further investigation based on predetermined criteria (logFC ≥|1| and P < 0.05) and its noteworthy association between elevated expression level and a marked reduction in the overall survival (OS) in patients di...

Impact of CYP1A1 variants on the risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia: evidence from an updated meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Our comprehensive analysis indicates that the T3801 and A2455G polymorphisms of CYP1A1 may increase the risk of ALL depending on ethnicity. Therefore, both variants should be considered promising biomarkers for ALL risk. Further large-scale investigations are necessary to assess other factors, such as gene-gene or gene-environment interactions.PMID:38485870 | PMC:PMC10917727 | DOI:10.1007/s44313-024-00007-9 (Source: Blood Research)

The role of next-generation sequencing in hematologic malignancies
Blood Res. 2024 Mar 6;59(1):11. doi: 10.1007/s44313-024-00010-0.ABSTRACTNext-generation sequencing (NGS) allows high-throughput detection of molecular changes in tumors. Over the past 15 years, NGS has rapidly evolved from a promising research tool to a core component of the clinical laboratory. Sequencing of tumor cells provides an important step in detecting somatic driver mutations that not only characterize the disease but also influence treatment decisions. For patients with hematologic malignancies, NGS has been used for accurate classification and diagnosis based on genetic alterations. The recently revised World He...

Genomic technologies for detecting structural variations in hematologic malignancies
Blood Res. 2024 Feb 13;59(1):1. doi: 10.1007/s44313-024-00001-1.ABSTRACTGenomic structural variations in myeloid, lymphoid, and plasma cell neoplasms can provide key diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic information while elucidating the underlying disease biology. Several molecular diagnostic approaches play a central role in evaluating hematological malignancies. Traditional cytogenetic diagnostic assays, such as chromosome banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization, are essential components of the current diagnostic workup that guide clinical care for most hematologic malignancies. However, each assay has inherent...

Real-world incidence and risk factors of bortezomib-related cardiovascular adverse events in patients with multiple myeloma
CONCLUSION: Approximately 15% of the Korean patients treated with bortezomib experienced severe CVAEs. Thus, patients, especially those with identified risk factors, should be closely monitored for CVAE symptoms during bortezomib treatment.PMID:38485811 | PMC:PMC10903519 | DOI:10.1007/s44313-024-00004-y (Source: Blood Research)
