Published: May 2012

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by a Ph(1) chromosome that derives through a translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22, i.e., t (9;22). Identifying the Ph(1) chromosome through cytogenetic analysis is an important aspect of CML diagnosis. The aim of this study was to determine the significance of cytogenetic analysis in the diagnosis of CML as well as to find out a relationship between chromosomal abnormalities and CML patients in different stages of treatment. Six CML patients were investigated for this study. The presence of Ph(1) chromosome was detected at different times of treatment using GTG banding on peripheral blood or bone marrow aspirations, and the results were analyzed using cytovision workstation. Hematological features were compared between newly diagnosed patients and patients under treatment. The Ph(1) chromosome was strongly associated with all cases of CML. The regression of Ph(1) chromosomes differed for each patient depending on the treatments and individual response to specific treatments.

Introduction: Adults with relapsed or refractory Philadelphia chromosome-positive B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (R/R Ph+ BCP-ALL) have a dismal outcome. Blinatumomab as a single agent has shown activity in R/R Ph- BCP-ALL, and second or third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) can produce high remission rates in Ph+ leukaemias. We aimed to assess the activity of blinatumomab and TKI in combination with intensive chemotherapy in the relapsed or refractory setting.

Objective: To analyze the impact of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) maintenance therapy following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph + ALL) on recurrence rates and prognosis for the 2 transcripts, p190 and p210.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical data from 58 patients diagnosed with Ph + ALL who underwent HSCT. All patients received TKI maintenance therapy following hematopoietic reconstruction post-transplantation.

Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma in children and adolescents.

Blood Adv

January 2025

Univeristy of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama, United States.

Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) is an aggressive mature T-cell lymphoma characterized by significant hepatosplenomegaly, bone marrow involvement, and minimal or no lymphadenopathy. Primarily affecting young adults, it is exceptionally rare in children and adolescents. This makes diagnosis and treatment particularly challenging for pathologists and pediatric oncologists.

The T315I-inclusive compound mutation, the multiple mutations including the T315I mutation on the same BCR::ABL1 gene, confers resistance to diverse tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Development of the F311I/T315I compound mutation has been reported in chronic myeloid leukemia patients who sequentially showed clinical resistance to imatinib and dasatinib. The establishment of a human leukemia model with the T315I-inclusive compound mutation remains an experimental challenge.

Investigation of Genomic and Transcriptomic Risk Factors of Clopidogrel Response in African Americans.

Clin Pharmacol Ther

January 2025

Department of Pharmacology, Center for Pharmacogenomics, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois, USA.

Clopidogrel, an anti-platelet drug, is used to prevent thrombosis after percutaneous coronary intervention. Clopidogrel resistance results in recurring ischemic events, with African Americans (AA) suffering disproportionately. The aim of this study was to discover novel biomarkers of clopidogrel resistance in African Americans using genome and transcriptome data.
