Genome sequencing of thousands of patients with rare blood disorders
Approximately 3M people have a rare bleeding disorder or disease of platelets, which are the cell fragments that help blood clot. The genetic causes of dozens of such disorders are known (e. g.
Read moreImmunotherapy delivered by Blinatumomab improves survival in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia patients
Adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) can achieve disease control in 90% of cases with intense chemotherapy but only half of these responders will be cured.
Read moreThe root of evil: pre-leukemic clones that survive chemotherapy are linked to a higher risk of leukemia recurrence
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive form of blood cancer. Treatment with intensive chemotherapy often leads to a period of freedom from overt disease called a remission. However, recurrence of the disease is common.

Since the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors into the treatment of CML survival times have greatly improved.
Read moreNovel basis for chemoresistance in AML: DNMT3A R882 mutations promote chemoresistance and residual disease through impaired DNA damage sensing
Although most acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients initially respond to chemotherapy, the majority subsequently relapses and succumbs to refractory disease. Residual leukemic cells that survived chemotherapy may persist over time and later cause the disease to come back.
