“Researchers knew that XPO1 regulates which proteins are located in a cell’s nucleus & which get moved to the cytoplasm. But until now, nobody has ever shown how the alteration of the XPO1 protein could cause cancer. This study shows how.”

Clinically useful analysis of a large number of patients and interesting finding of PPM1D mutations in MPNs. One always wonders if sequencing a larger panel of genes could end up finding something unexpected. Kudos!

Genetic analysis involving 2035 patients with a myeloproliferative disorder identified eight genomic subgroups with distinct clinical phenotypes, risk of leukemic transformation, and event-free survival. Full study:
We describe a means to develop synthetic RNA sequences which respond uniquely to cells with cancer-associated mutations in the RNA-splicing factor SF3B1. These “synthetic introns” enable genotype-selective gene expression.
