Myeloid Neoplasias: What Molecular Analyses Are Telling Us
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the last decades, cytogenetic and molecular characterizations of hematological disorders at diagnosis and followup have been most valuable for guiding therapeutic decisions and prognosis. Genetic and epigenetic alterations detected by different procedures have been associated to different cancer types and are considered important indicators for disease classification, differential diagnosis, prognosis, response, and individualization of therapy. The search for new biomarkers has been revolutionized by high-throughput technologies. At this point, it seems that we have overcome technological barriers, but we are still far from sorting the biological puzzle. Evidence based on translational research is required for validating novel genetic and epigenetic markers for routine clinical practice. We herein discuss the importance of genetic abnormalities and their molecular pathways in acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, and myeloproliferative neoplasms. We also discuss how novel genomic abnormalities may interact and reassess concepts and classifications of myeloid neoplasias.

Molecular characterization of the t(8;13)(p11;q12) translocation associated with an atypical myeloproliferative disorder: evidence for three discrete loci involved in myeloid leukemias on 8p11.
A reciprocal chromosome translocation between 13q12 and 8p11 is the consistent cytogenetic abnormality seen in a nonspecific myeloproliferative disorder that is associated with T-cell leukemia/lymphoma and peripheral blood eosinophilia. Detailed molecular analyses of the translocation breakpoints associated with this rearrangement have not been reported to date. We have now generated somatic ce...
متن کاملEvaluation of the CD123 Expression and FLT3 Gene Mutations in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Background and Objective: Identification of cytogenetic and molecular changes plays an important role in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Thus, they are used in classification, prognosis and treatment of the disease. The CD123 expression and FLT3 gene mutations are also the variations that may assist in prognosis and treatment of patients with AML.Methods:</...
