Abstract
In recent years, technology developments and increase in knowledge have led to profound changes in the diagnostics of haematologic neoplasms, particularly myeloid neoplasms. Therefore an updated, fifth edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of haematolymphoid neoplasms (WHO-HAEM5) will be issued in 2024. In this context, we present a practical guide for analysing the genetic aspects of clonal haematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS), myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS), and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) based on WHO-HAEM5. This guide navigates through the genetic abnormalities underlying myeloid neoplasms which are required to be detected for classification according to WHO-HAEM5 and provides diagnostic algorithms.
期刊介绍:
medizinischegenetik is a scientific journal that is owned and published by the German Society of Human Genetics e.V. since 1989. The journal was founded by Prof. Jan Murken, München. Self-published until 2006, from 2007-2019 published at Springer Verlag and since 2020 at De Gruyter.
medizinischegenetik serves education and training among colleagues, the interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge in all areas of human genetics in clinics, practice, research and teaching. Each issue of the quarterly journal deals with a focus that provides a comprehensive overview of current developments in specific clinical pictures, technical developments and therapeutic approaches. All reviews are written in English language. The journal thus creates a platform for the international exchange of knowledge and increased awareness of German research activities in the scientific community.
In addition, medizinischegenetik contains information on activities in its own subject in the German-language section. This includes conference reports, association announcements, personnel matters, statements and guidelines. With health policy questions, historical retrospectives and comments on current developments, the profession takes a stand on human genetic issues in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
