Background And Objective: Several genetic variations are associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) susceptibility, including the polymorphism. Even with the existing meta-analysis conducted on the topic, no consensus has been reached since none of the studies available performed in-depth data analysis. Hence, we performed an updated systematic review and meta-analysis in this paper to obtain more precise estimates.
Materials And Methods: We searched various databases and calculated the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) to examine whether the polymorphism is associated with AML susceptibility. Further statistical analysis was also done to obtain more accurate and reliable findings.
Results: A total of 15 studies are included in the systematic review, but only 9 were included in the meta-analysis due to the studies deviating from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The analysis showed significantly increased susceptibility to AML in the allelic, co-dominant, and recessive models. Furthermore, subgroup analysis noted increased AML susceptibility in the non-Asian population. Comparing the proportions of the genotypes and alleles showed a significantly higher proportion of the genotype and allele in the non-Asian cohort.
Conclusion: The polymorphism is significantly associated with AML susceptibility, especially among non-Asians. Further investigation should be performed to strengthen the current results.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are essential components of the innate immune system, functioning as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to detect pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). In hematological malignancies, particularly myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), TLRs influence inflammation, disease progression, and therapeutic response. This review highlights the prognostic relevance of TLR expression, the role of the MyD88 signaling pathway in clonal evolution, and the dual nature of TLR-mediated immune responses, either promoting antitumor activity or contributing to leukemogenesis.

Introduction: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients are highly susceptible to infection. Moreover, prophylactic and empirical antibiotic treatment during chemotherapy disrupts the gut microbiome, raising the risk for antibiotic-resistant (AR) opportunistic pathogens. There is limited data on risk factors for AR infections or colonization events in treated cancer patients, and no predictive models exist.

Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a mass-forming extramedullary manifestation of myeloid blasts, either in relation to an underlying acute myeloid leukemia (AML), another myeloid neoplasm (MN) or as a de novo occurrence. Data on the genetic profile of MS are sparse. In this study, 41 MS of 34 patients, including 7 de novo cases and 24 patients with antecedent or synchronous MN, were analyzed with targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS), RNA-based fusion detection, and gene expression profiling (GEP).

Aim Of The Study: To estimate the risk of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) secondary to PARP inhibitors (PARPi), based on the line of treatment, in real-world ovarian cancer (OC) patients.
Methods: Using the TriNetX platform, we compared a cohort (experimental A) of 3,402 OC patients treated with first-line maintenance PARPi to a control cohort of 1,653 OC patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy without PARPi. Experimental group B included 356 OC patients treated with PARPi after a platinum-sensitive relapse, and was compared to a control cohort of 1,503 patients who had not received PARPi after two lines of platinum-based chemotherapy.

Monosomy 7 (-7) and deletions of chromosome arm 7q (del(7q)) are prevalent high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities that often co-occur with del(17p) (harboring ). To identify novel targeted therapies based on specific vulnerabilities in high-risk myeloid malignancies, we investigated druggable, chromosome 7-encoded essential genes that are monoallelically deleted in the context of -7/del(7q), that is, collateral lethal genes. By mining genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screen data sets, we identified nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase () on 7q22.
