JAK2-negative acute monocytic leukemia with TET2 mutation in essential thrombocythemia with JAK2 mutation with literature review
Publication date: Available online 16 January 2020Source: Leukemia Research ReportsAuthor(s): Toshie Ogasawara, Kiyotaka Kawauchi, Takuya Ono, Kotaro Shide, Kazuya Shimoda, Naoki Mori, Hiroshi SakuraAbstractEssential thrombocythemia (ET) is an indolent myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) with a transformation to acute myeloid leukemia in <5% of patients. A 79-year-old man with JAK2V617F-positive ET exhibited leukocytosis with an increase in monoblastic cells, leading to a diagnosis of acute monoblastic and monocytic leukemia. Leukemic cells carried a TET2 mutation but not JAK2V617F mutation. We concluded that the TET2 mu...

Rate of Differentiation Syndrome in Patients Based on Timing of Initial All-Trans Retinoic Acid Administration
Publication date: Available online 27 November 2019Source: Leukemia Research ReportsAuthor(s): Mary Nauffal, Lillian Werner, Jian Ni, Richard M. Stone, Daniel J. DeAngelo, Anne M. McDonnellAbstractAll-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) is the standard of care for the management of acute promyelocytic leukemia. (APL), but can be associated with differentiation syndrome (DS). Over a seven-year period, we sought to determine the impact of ATRA initiation time on the development of DS. ATRA administration time had no impact on DS occurrence (p=0.13), APL risk (p=0.28) or regimen received (p=0.1). Patients with higher mean body mass in...

Mutations of FLT3 receptor affect its surface glycosylation, intracellular localization, and downstream signaling
Publication date: Available online 27 November 2019Source: Leukemia Research ReportsAuthor(s): Shinichiro TakahashiAbstractThis review describes the effects of FLT3 mutations that alter its intracellular localization and modify its glycosylation, leading to differences in downstream signaling pathways. The most common type of FLT3 mutation, internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD), leads to localization in the endoplasmic reticulum and constitutive strong activation of STAT5. In contrast, the ligand-activated FLT3-wild type is mainly expressed on the cell surface and activates MAP kinases. Based on these backgrounds, several...

Inotuzumab ozogamicin as chemotherapy-sparing salvage in a 67-year-old man with primary refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia with high-risk genomic features
Publication date: Available online 26 November 2019Source: Leukemia Research ReportsAuthor(s): Xiaochuan Yang, Filiz Sen, Mark B. GeyerAbstractOlder adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) continue to have a poor prognosis, in part due to greater chemotherapy-related toxicities. We herein report a 67-year-old man with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-negative B-cell ALL, who exhibited refractoriness to 3 different regimens of induction chemotherapy and experienced multiple complications including intracranial bleeding and respiratory failure, who achieved minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative complete response (CR) af...

Genotypic and Phenotypic Evolution in a Patient with Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia
Publication date: Available online 5 October 2019Source: Leukemia Research ReportsAuthor(s): Klaus Geissler, Eva Jäger, Michael GurbiszAbstractThe correlation of molecular and phenotypic evolution in individual patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is poorly investigated. The longitudinal follow up of a CMML patient for more than 10 years illustrates that the emergence of clones harboring mutations in TET2, SRSF2, RUNX1, MPL, NRAS, and finally in multiple genes, respectively, was mirrored by thrombocytopenia, thrombocytosis, myeloproliferation and transformation into acute myeloid leukemia. Moreover, molecu...
