Characterizing KMT2A Rearrangement in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Comprehensive Genomic Study. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
No amplifications or deletions were seen. This genomic landscape study highlights significant genomic differences between KMT2Ar and KMT2Awt AML patients, which may enrich our understanding of the molecular profile and clusters of mutations in AML.

Correlation between epigenetic modifier gene mutations and prognosis of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (PubMed, Hematology)
In addition, patients with KMT2A mutation had shorter OS compared to those with wild type (HR, 4.605; P = 0.045), whereas other EMMs had no impact on prognosis in any type of ALL. Mutations in DNMT3A, IDH, PHF6 and KMT2A showed a significant prognostic effect in ALL or in its specific subtypes, which might contribute to risk stratification and treatment guidance in the management of ALL patients.

Combinatorial inhibition of LSD1 and Menin induces therapeutic differentiation in AML. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Surprisingly, we find that this combination is effective in selected AML models without mutations in MLL or NPM1, thus nominating dual inhibition of LSD1 and Menin as an attractive therapeutic approach for a mutationally diverse set of non-APL AMLs. Inhibition of LSD1 and Menin synergizes to induce differentiation of MLL-r and MLL-WT AMLs.Inhibition of Menin downregulates drivers of proliferation and stemness.Inhibition of LSD1 induces differentiation-associated inflammatory and interferon responses.LSD1 and Menin occupy different areas of the genome.

Cross-Species Morphology Learning Enables Nucleic Acid-Independent Detection of Live Mutant Blood Cells. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
The platform holds promise for translation into pre-malignant screening applications in asymptomatic neonates and adults as well as measurable residual disease monitoring in malignancies. Furthermore, it provides a novel single-cell morphological data modality that complements existing molecular layers, including genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics.

The pan-cancer mutational landscape of MLL3 and its impact on prognosis and immunochemotherapy. (PubMed, Cell Rep)
Concurrent mutations of MLL3 and POLE in UCEC signify a better immune response, which is validated in mouse models with Mll3-ablated colon cancer. Our study provides a pan-cancer spectrum of the MLL3 mutational event and will contribute to the understanding of the genetic evolution and disease management of cancers.

Impact of KMT2A Rearrangement on Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma, Not Otherwise Specified, and Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma. (PubMed, Biomedicines)
Brentuximab vedotin (BV) plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone did not significantly improve OS or PFS overall; however, exploratory analysis indicated improved PFS in the KMT2A-r subset. KMT2A-r delineates an adverse-risk biology in nodal PTCL, aligns with non-TFH genomic hubs and markers of tumor burden, and may serve as a stratifier and hypothesis-generating target for BV-based strategies.

Age-specific mutation profiles and their prognostic implications in pediatric KMT2A-rearranged acute myeloid leukemia. (PubMed, Haematologica)
Multivariate analysis identified older age, a high white blood cell count, KMT2A::MLLT4, and KRAS mutations as independent adverse prognostic factors for both EFS and OS. These age-specific mutation profiles suggest distinct disease mechanisms across age groups and may help refine risk stratification and treatment strategies for pediatric KMT2A-r AML.

KMT2A alterations in acute myeloid leukemia: a proposed genetic risk model and transplantation outcomes. (PubMed, Exp Hematol Oncol)
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation significantly improved survival, with 3-year OS rates of 75.2% in transplant recipients versus 22.5% in non-transplanted patients (P < 0.001), particularly in high-risk groups and when performed in first complete remission. These findings support the use of molecularly guided, risk-adapted therapy in KMT2A-altered AML.

Ziftomenib in Relapsed or Refractory NPM1-Mutated AML. (PubMed, J Clin Oncol)
Ziftomenib demonstrated significant clinical benefit and deep responses in patients with heavily pretreated, relapsed/refractory NPM1-m AML. Ziftomenib was well tolerated with a safety profile consistent with previous studies, including manageable differentiation syndrome, lack of clinically significant QTc prolongation, and low rates of myelosuppression.
