Involvement of the JAK-STAT pathway in the molecular landscape of tyrosine kinase fusion-negative hypereosinophilic syndromes: A nationwide CEREO study.

We investigated using a custom NGS panel of 149 genes the mutational landscape of 64 consecutive adult patients with tyrosine kinase fusion-negative hypereosinophilia (HE)/hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) harboring features suggestive of myeloid neoplasm. At least one mutation was reported in 50/64 (78%) patients (compared to 8/44 (18%) patients with idiopathic HE/HES/HE used as controls; p < .001).

Cytogenetics in the management of myeloproliferative neoplasms, mastocytosis and myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms: Guidelines from the Group Francophone de Cytogénétique Hématologique (GFCH).

Myeloproliferative neoplasms, mastocytosis, myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with hypereosinophilia and tyrosine kinase gene fusions, and myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms are clonal hematopoietic cancers that, with the exception of certain entities, have an indolent course. In addition to their increasingly important role in the diagnosis of these entities, as shown by the recent classification of hematolymphoid tumors in the 5th edition of the World Health Organization and the International Consensus Classification of myeloid neoplasms and acute leukemias, identification of the profile of acquired genetic abnormalities is essential for adapting patient management and early detection of patients at high risk of progression. Alongside molecular abnormalities, cytogenetic abnormalities play an important role in the diagnosis, prognosis and follow-up of these diseases.

TRIT1 deficiency: Two novel patients with four novel variants.

TRIT1 encodes a tRNA isopentenyl transferase that allows a strong interaction between the mini helix and the codon. Recent reports support the TRIT1 bi-allelic alterations as the cause of an autosomal recessive disorder, named combined oxydative phophorylation deficiency 35, with microcephaly, developmental disability, and epilepsy. The phenotype is due to decreased mitochondrial function, with deficit of i6A37 in cytosolic and mitochondrial tRNA.
