A study performed among 3,324\u2009patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with analysis of TP53<\/em> mutations and allelic imbalances shows that consideration of TP53<\/em> allelic state is critical for diagnostic and prognostic precision in MDS, as well as in future correlative studies of treatment response. The findings are published on 3 August in the Nature Medicine<\/em> by a group of international researchers. Seishi Ogawa of the Department of Pathology and Tumor Biology, Kyoto University in Kyoto, Japan and Elli Papaemmanuil of the Computational Oncology Service, Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics, and Center for Hematologic Malignancies, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, USA jointly supervised this work.<\/p>\n

The authors wrote in the study background that TP53<\/em> is the most frequently mutated gene in cancer. In patients with MDS, TP53<\/em> mutations are associated with high-risk disease, rapid transformation to acute myeloid leukaemia, resistance to conventional therapies and dismal outcomes.<\/p>\n

Consistent with the tumour suppressive role of TP53<\/em>, patients harbour both mono- and biallelic mutations. However, the biological and clinical implications of TP53<\/em> allelic state have not been fully investigated in MDS.<\/p>\n

The study team delineated two subsets of patients with distinct phenotypes and outcomes. One-third of TP53<\/em>-mutated patients had monoallelic mutations whereas two-thirds had multiple hits (multi-hit) consistent with biallelic targeting.<\/p>\n

Established associations with complex karyotype, few co-occurring mutations, high-risk presentation and poor outcomes were specific to multi-hit patients only. TP53<\/em> multi-hit state predicted risk of death and leukemic transformation independently of the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System.<\/p>\n

Monoallelic patients did not differ from TP53<\/em> wild-type patients in outcomes and response to therapy.<\/p>\n

The authors concluded that their study shows that TP53<\/em> allelic state is critical for diagnostic and prognostic precision in MDS.<\/p>\n
