In systemic mastocytosis (SM), the clinical features and survival vary greatly. Patient-related factors determining the outcome in SM are largely unknown. Methods: We examined the impact of sex on the clinical features, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) in 3403 patients with mastocytosis collected in the registry of the Eur...

The incidence of DNMT3A mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is quite high and often confers a poorer prognosis. Another common gene involved in AML is IDH1/2. However, the influence of IDH1/2 mutations on outcomes in DNMT3A-mutated patients remains unknown. This study aims to determine the effect of IDH1/2mut on the prognosis in patients with...

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of clonal hematologic disorders characterized by inefficient hematopoiesis, hypercellular bone marrow, dysplasia of blood cells and cytopenias. Most patients are diagnosed in their late 60s to early 70s. MDS is a risk factor for the development of acute myeloid leukemia which can occur in 10-15% of patien...

In 2005, the discovery of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) V617F mutation in approximately half of patients with myelofibrosis (MF) marked an important milestone in our understanding of the pathophysiology of MF. This has broadened our understanding of the disease pathogenesis and became the foundation for the development and subsequent clinical use of JAK in...
