Germline DDX41 mutations in myeloid neoplasms: a comprehensive review.

Abstract excerpt

DEAD-box helicase 41 (DDX41)-associated myeloid neoplasms represent a distinct hereditary cancer syndrome and have emerged as the most common form of genetic predisposition to adult-onset hematologic malignancies, accounting for 3-5% of adults with myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia. DDX41 is a multifunctional DEAD-box RNA helicase that plays essential roles in pre-mRNA splicing, ribosome...
