Background/aim: Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) are clonal bone marrow disorders characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis. They are classified based on morphology and genetic alterations, with SF3B1 variants linked to favorable prognosis and MECOM rearrangements associated with poor outcomes. The combined effects of these alterations remain unclear.

Overactivation of the Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-β) pathway is implicated in the pathogenesis of cytopenias in Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). IOA-359 and IOA-360 are potent small molecule inhibitors of the TGF-beta Receptor type I kinase (TGF-βRI, also referred to as ALK5, activin receptor-like kinase 5) that abrogate SMAD phosphorylation in hematopoietic cell lines. Both inhibitors were able to inhibit TGF-β mediated gene transcription at specific doses.

Introduction: VEXAS syndrome (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic), recently described, due to a somatic mutation of the UBA1 gene and often associated with hemopathy, is characterized by systemic symptoms close to those described in Still's disease or relapsing polychondritis. There are also patients with hemopathy, presenting inflammatory symptoms reminiscent of those of VEXAS syndrome but without mutation of the UBA1 gene.

Case/discussion: Two male patients consulted for general signs, dermatological symptoms, arthralgia, chondritis and venous thrombosis, like patients in the French cohort suffering from VEXAS syndrome.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a complex hematological malignancy predominantly affecting the elderly, with a median diagnosis age of 68 years. Despite advances in treatment, elderly AML patients face suboptimal survival outcomes, with an estimated 5-year survival rate below 20 %. Epigenetic dysregulation, notably DNA methylation, is a key factor in the progression of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) to AML.

Context.—: Blasts in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) typically have a primitive myeloid immunophenotype (CD34+CD117+CD13+CD33+HLA-DR+). On rare occasions, blasts were found to be CD34 negative or minimally expressed in a presumptive MDS.
