Chromothripsis-associated chromosome 21 amplification orchestrates transformation to blast-phase MPN through targetable overexpression of DYRK1A
1 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
Chromothripsis, the chaotic shattering and repair of chromosomes, is common in cancer. Whether chromothripsis generates actionable therapeutic targets remains an open question. In a cohort of 64 patients in blast phase of a myeloproliferative neoplasm (BP-MPN), we describe recurrent amplification of a region of chromosome 21q ('chr. 21amp') in 25%, driven by chromothripsis in a third of these cases. We report...
