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.","PeriodicalId":51130,"journal":{"name":"Medizinische Genetik","volume":"103 23","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140079894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following the development of new technologies, such as next generation sequencing and the improvement of classical technologies such as conventional and molecular cytogenetics, a huge catalogue of genomic alterations in lymphoid neoplasms has been established. These alterations are relevant to refine the taxonomy of the classification of lymphomas, to scrutinize the differential diagnosis within different lymphoma entities and to help assessing the prognosis and clinical management of the patients. Consequently, here we describe the key genetic alterations relevant in mature B- and T-cell lymphomas.","PeriodicalId":51130,"journal":{"name":"Medizinische Genetik","volume":"29 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140080662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

VRONI offers all children aged 5-14 years in Bavaria a FH screening in the context of regular pediatric visits. LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) is measured centrally, followed by genetic analysis for FH if exceeding the age-specific 95th percentile (130 mg/dl, 3.34 mmol/l).
