Background/objectives: MDG1011 is an autologous TCR-T therapy developed as a treatment option for patients with myeloid malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and multiple myeloma (MM). It is specific for the target antigen PReferentially expressed Antigen in MElanoma (PRAME). The recombinant TCR used in MDG1011 recognizes PRAME VLD-peptide presented by HLA-A*02:01-encoded surface molecules.

The effect of pretransfusion hemoglobin on transfusion burden, thrombosis, and mortality in thalassemia and myelodysplastic syndrome is unclear. We aimed to study the pretransfusion hemoglobin and erythrocyte transfusion burden and investigate the effects of these variables on each other in real-life in thalassemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. Adult patients with thalassemia and myelodysplastic syndrome who received at least one erythrocyte concentrate unit outpatient at Sanliurfa Mehmet Akif Inan Training and Research Hospital during 1 year were included in the study.

VEXAS syndrome is a complex hemato-inflammatory disorder, driven by somatic mutations in the UBA1 gene within hematopoietic precursor cells. It is characterized by systemic inflammation, rheumatological manifestations, and frequent association with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). We present a series of four VEXAS cases, all of which include concomitant MDS, each displaying distinct genetic signatures and clinical features at diagnosis, with a focus on their diagnostic and therapeutic implications.

VEXAS syndrome is a haemato-inflammatory disease caused by somatic UBA1 mutations and characterized by cytoplasmic vacuoles in myeloid and erythroid precursor cells. Although there is currently no standard treatment algorithm for VEXAS, patients are generally treated with anti-inflammatory therapies focused on symptom management, with only partial effectiveness. Hypomethylating agents (HMA) have shown promise in VEXAS patients with concomitant myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), while the efficacy of HMA in VEXAS patients without MDS is largely unknown.

Magnusiomyces capitatus is an environmental fungus found in soil, water, air, plants, and dairy products which may cause opportunistic infections in patients with haematological disorders resulting in high mortality rates. This series of the first reported cases in Ireland discusses investigation of two patients with underlying haematological disorders, hospitalised in the Irish National Adult Stem Cell Transplant Unit (NASCTU), who developed line-related fungaemias with M. capitatus within a three-month period.
