Neurodegenerative Langerhans cell histiocytosis: long-term follow-up of 63 patients from the Italian Registry

Neurodegenerative Langerhans cell histiocytosis (ND-LCH) is characterized by progressive neurological impairment and poorly defined long-term outcomes. In their study, Trambusti and colleagues analyzed data from 63 patients with ND-LCH enrolled in the Italian Registry. They found that ND-LCH follows a heterogeneous but often progressive course underscoring the need for early recognition and standardized therapeutic strategies.

Ethnicity affects relapse-free survival in immunemediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura

Immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a thrombotic microangiopathy with heterogeneous risk of relapse. Weisinger and colleagues evaluated the impact of ethnicity on relapse-free survival in a cohort of patients with iTTP from the registry of the French National Thrombotic Microangiopathy Reference Center. They found that ethnicity significantly influences relapse risk, highlighting the importance of considering ethnicity in risk stratification and long-term management of iTTP.

Comparative effectiveness of immunotherapy alone or with chemotherapy as first-line treatment for marginal zone lymphoma

Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) is an indolent B-cell lymphoma for which optimal first-line treatment remains debated. In this study, the authors performed a comparative effectiveness analysis of first-line immunotherapy versus immunochemotherapy using real-world clinical data. They found that immunochemotherapy improved response rates and disease control in selected patients, while immunotherapy alone remained an effective option for less aggressive disease.

Multi-omics analysis reveals a unique epigenetic signature in MYD88 wild-type Waldenström macroglobulinemia

Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is typically driven by MYD88 mutations, while MYD88 wild-type cases represent a less well-characterized subgroup. In this study, the authors performed integrated multi-omics profiling to define the molecular features of MYD88 wild-type WM. They identified a unique epigenetic landscape with distinct regulatory programs, supporting the existence of a biologically separate subtype with potential diagnostic and therapeutic implications.
