Ten-eleven translocation 2 () plays a pivotal role in epigenetic regulation, cell differentiation, and the inflammatory response. It also mediates the transcriptional regulation for inflammatory cytokines, particularly interleukin-6. While loss-of-function mutation in has been associated with hematological malignancies, it has been increasingly recognized to cause atherosclerotic disease. The increased atherogenicity is thought to be the result of increased production of pro-inflammatory interleukin-1β cytokines following activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes. We present a unique case of recurrent atherothrombosis in an elderly man who was diagnosed with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia in the setting of mutation.

Various aspects of myeloproliferative chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (MP-CMML) and myelodysplastic CMML (MD-CMML) have been reported but inconsistencies remain. This study conducted a comprehensive retrospective analysis of clinical, pathological, and molecular data from a cohort of CMML. The results revealed a higher frequency of and mutations and a greater mutation burden in MP-CMML, characterized by more tier 1 or 2 variants and dominant mutations.

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
  • 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.
