Introduction: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease currently including 12 entities defined by genetic findings with remarkable differences in prognosis and targeted therapies availability. Therefore, identification of genetic abnormalities by efficient techniques has become a necessary tool in routine clinical practice for AML patients.
Areas Covered: In the present review, we will focus on our current knowledge of relevant prognosis gene mutations in AML, as recently updated by European Leukemia Net Leukemia risk classification.

Increased risk of acute myeloid leukemia/myelodysplastic syndromes following treatment has been reported in multiple myeloma, but whether dysplastic features are already present at diagnosis remains to be investigated. Using multiparameter flow cytometry, we analyzed the distribution and phenotype of bone marrow hematopoietic cells from 47 multiple myeloma patients (15 symptomatic and 32 high-risk smoldering). From the 32 smoldering myeloma patients, 18 were studied at baseline and 22 after nine cycles of lenalidomide/dexamethasone treatment following the QUIREDEX trial (including 8 from baseline).

Familial cases of myelodysplastic syndromes are rare, but are immensely valuable for the investigation of the molecular pathogenesis of myelodysplasia in general. The best-characterized familial myelodysplastic syndrome is that of familial platelet disorder with propensity to myeloid malignancy, caused by heterozygous germline RUNX1 mutations. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of reported cases, allowing for better understanding of the incidence, clinical features, and pathogenesis of this disorder.

Introduction: We report the development of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in a patient in whom temozolomide was used for the treatment of a brain tumor. Unlike that of other alkylating agents, the leukemogenic potential of temozolomide is considered to be very low, and very rarely are such cases reported.
Case Presentation: A 26-year-old Pakistani man who was treated for glioblastoma with temozolomide in an adjuvant setting was diagnosed to have acute lymphoblastic leukemia one year after stopping temozolomide.
