Relevance of germline (GL) predisposition in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) was stressed in both 2022 WHO and International Consensus classifications, but its incidence is probably underestimated, especially in young adult patients. We selected a cohort of 31 consecutive de novo MDS patients with unusual young age (<60 years). We performed exome sequencing (ES) on DNA extracted from noninvasive sources (peripheral blood and saliva), filtering for a panel of 344 genes specifically tailored for detecting GL variants related to clonal and nonclonal cytopenia.

Article Synopsis
  • Advancements in understanding myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) have revealed important cellular and molecular factors that influence disease progression, highlighting the significance of immune dysregulation in the bone marrow during MDS evolution.
  • Despite these advancements, immunotherapy for MDS has lagged due to a lack of effective immune classifications for patient stratification and no widely accepted immune panels for clinical use.
  • To address these challenges, the i4MDS consortium proposes standardized immune monitoring approaches, including flow cytometry panels and cytokine assays, aiming to improve patient stratification and develop predictive markers for treatment response in MDS.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) represents an urgent yet unmet challenge for modern society, calling for exploration of innovative targets and therapeutic approaches. Astrocytes, main homeostatic cells in the CNS, represent promising cell-target. Our aim was to investigate if deletion of the regulatory CaNB1 subunit of calcineurin in astrocytes could mitigate AD-related memory deficits, neuropathology, and neuroinflammation.
