Dr. Lucy Fox for outstanding talk at #LBA #ASH25 Whole Genome Sequencing upfront in large cohort of adult & pediatric pts with suspected IBMFS found high diagnostic rate (37.1%) - cost is ~8100 $ but expected to 📉 - impact on patient counselling & therapy - new discoveries

Therapy related myeloid neoplasm post CART in DLBCL arises from TP53 clones identifiable preCART… but high baseline incidence of TP53/PPM1D CH preCART.. so the challenge is identifying those with clones that will progress - Zhi Han Yeoh from @petermaccc.bsky.social. #ASH24 #hemepath #hemesky #lymsm

Critical RW data, especially data re: better PFS for pola for non-GC in the post-CAR setting. Huge congratulations to Drs. Cliff and Russler-Germain for this tour de force, and for inviting us at @CULymphoma @CUHematology (and @JessicaAllenMD) to participate. #ASH24 #lymsm

Dr. Jacoby from Washington University on intervening in AML based on mut clearance at 2.5% VAF across exome level in a variant agnostic way. Great to see this “fingerprint” MRD approach being used in trials.. lots of analogies to current lymphoma ctDNA space #hemepath #hemesky #leusm #lymsm #ASH24

Exciting to see the first results from the INTERCEPT platform study (PI Andrew Wei) expertly presented by Dr. Sun Loo from @petermaccc.bsky.social at #ASH24. Intervening with a molecularly rational approach at early #MRD relapse is feasible in AML and the results with revumenib are encouraging.

Dr. Ing Soo Tiong from @petermaccc.bsky.social presenting his excellent work at #ASH24 on how the remission clonal haematopoietic landscape is shaped by venetoclax in pts with AML. TP53 and BAX microclones! With a bit more sensitive sequencing tech we will find the nanoclones… #hemepath #hemesky

A great (in-person!) meeting of the MM-VCEP #ClinGen group today at #ASH24. Lots of exciting projects and milestones for the group on the horizon including making rules for new genes (SAMD9/SAMD9L/TERT/TERC..) as well as progress on our DDX41 curation rules. Stay tuned..
