  • An existing drug might be repurposed to treat these leukemias, and the new understanding of the molecular mechanisms at work may offer clues to other drugs yet to be developed, according to that investigators. (medicilon.com)
  • [ 8 ] was renamed in the 2022 WHO classification to MDS/MPN with SF3B1 mutation and thrombocytosis, due to evolving understanding of disease biology. (medscape.com)
  • SF3B1 mutations are found in 28% of MDS cases overall and in over 80% of cases of with increased ring sideroblasts. (medscape.com)
  • 10%). The co-occurrence of SF3B1 with an MPN driver mutation strongly supports this diagnosis and likely accounts for its mixed MDS/MPN phenotype. (medscape.com)
  • Here, we show that cohesin mutations are biomarkers of sensitivity to drugs targeting the splicing-factor SF3B1 (H3B-8800 and E-7107). (dana-farber.org)
  • Myelodysplastic syndromes with low blasts and isolated 5q deletion, MDS with low blasts and SF3B1 mutation, and MDS with biallelic TP53 inactivation were listed under MDS with defined genetic abnormalities. (rarediseaseadvisor.com)
  • If omics-based assays were applied with appropriate study designs, thorough validation of the markers, and careful interpretation of study results then a bioinformatics database could be built of the human response to different chemical exposures and associated chronic diseases. (who.int)
  • Here we demonstrate that C-terminal-truncating Asxl1 mutations (ASXL1-MTs) inhibited myeloid differentiation and induced MDS-like disease in mice. (jci.org)
  • ASXL1 mutations inhibit G-CSF-induced myeloid differentiation of 32Dcl3 cells. (jci.org)
  • P = .01 and P = .0008, respectively), suggesting that ETNK1 mutations may inhibit the catalytic activity of the enzyme. (ox.ac.uk)
