| Review Title: | Map-kinase-driven hematopoietic neoplasms: A decade of progress in the molecular age |
| Abstract: | Mutations in members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway are exten-sively studied in epithelial malignancies, with BRAF mutations being one of the most common alterations activating this pathway. However, BRAF mutations are overall quite rare in hematological malignancies. Studies over the past decade have identified high-fre-quency BRAFV600E, MAP2K1, and other kinase alterations in two groups of MAPK-driven hematopoietic neoplasms: hairy cell leukemia (HCL) and the systemic histiocytoses. Despite HCL and histiocytoses sharing common molecular alterations, these are phenotypically distinct malignancies that differ in respect to clinical presentation and suspected cell of origin. The purpose of this review is to highlight the molecular advancements over the last decade in the histiocytic neoplasms and HCL and discuss the impact these insights have had on our understanding of the molecular pathophysiology, cellular origins, and therapy of these enig-matic diseases as well as perspectives for future research directions. © 2021 Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press; all rights reserved;. |
