partial tandem duplication (PTD) involves intragenic duplications and has been associated with poorer prognosis. In this study, we evaluated PTD in 1277 patients with hematological malignancies using optical genome mapping (OGM). PTD was detected in 35 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (7%), 5 patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) (2.

An 8 yr old, male, mixed-breed dog was presented with a 2 mo history of progressive weakness, worsened in the last 2 days before examination. Neurological examination revealed ambulatory tetraparesis, ataxia, and proprioceptive deficits in all four limbs. Menace response was reduced in the right eye and discomfort was detected on neck manipulation.

Article Synopsis
- Tandem duplications (TDs) in the UBTF gene are a recently identified genetic alteration linked to pediatric and adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), establishing UBTF-TD as a distinct subtype of AML.
- A study of 27 pediatric patients revealed that UBTF-TD is commonly associated with symptoms like cytopenia and characteristic changes in bone marrow, such as erythroid hyperplasia and trilineage dysplasia.
- The findings suggest that patients with MDS and AML exhibiting UBTF-TD have similar prognoses, indicating that both conditions may represent different manifestations of the same underlying disease.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a complex blood cell disorder that combines poorly functioning and overproducing blood cells, leading to various symptoms.
- The case study focuses on a 71-year-old man with severe CMML who experienced skin nodules that improved with treatment but later recurred, while avoiding progression to acute leukemia.
- The findings emphasize the importance of close monitoring and flexible treatment approaches for patients with CMML, especially those with skin involvement.

Differentiation therapy with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is well established for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). However, the narrow application and tolerance development of ATRA remain to be improved. A number of kinase inhibitors have been reported to induce cell differentiation.
