Splicing factor gene mutations in hematologic malignancies.
Alternative splicing generates a diversity of messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts from a single mRNA precursor and contributes to the complexity of our proteome. Splicing is perturbed by a variety of mechanisms in cancer. Recurrent mutations in splicing factors have emerged as a hallmark of several hematologic malignancies. Splicing factor mutations tend to occur in the founding clone of myeloid c...

heralds a new era of targeted therapies for the management of this disease. The drug is generally well tolerated with mostly mild side effects that frequently resolve despite continuation of therapy. The responses observed are primarily sustained partial responses with occasional complete responses, which appear to be independent of conventional prognostic markers.

متن کاملGATA factor mutations in hematologic disease.
GATA family proteins play essential roles in development of many cell types, including hematopoietic, cardiac, and endodermal lineages. The first three factors, GATAs 1, 2, and 3, are essential for normal hematopoiesis, and their mutations are responsible for a variety of blood disorders. Acquired and inherited GATA1 mutations contribute to Diamond-Blackfan anemia, acute megakaryoblastic leukem...
متن کاملHematologic Malignancies
Touch MEdical MEdia 43 Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable plasma cell disease that comprises 1 % of all cancers and 10 % of hematologic malignancies. It primarily affects older individuals—the median age at the moment of diagnosis is 70 years—and two-thirds of multiple myeloma patients are over 65 years of age when they are first diagnosed. The outcome of MM patients has significantly improv...
