Investigates genetic changes from myelodysplastic neoplasms to secondary acute myeloid leukemia, indicating distinct mutation patterns.

This study aims to explore genetic alterations during the transition from myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) to secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML).
Seventy-nine paired samples of MDS at diagnosis and sAML were analyzed.
32 gene mutations commonly associated with myeloid neoplasms were examined using next-generation sequencing.
The study compared the frequency and types of mutations across disease stages.
Mutations in signaling pathways and transcription factors increased during progression to sAML, while mutations in other gene groups remained stable.
RUNX1 mutations showed clonal expansion with no loss during disease progression.
The mutation distribution pattern was consistent regardless of blast counts or progression rate.

Ou et al. (2026) studied this question.
