摘要
Dear Editor,The tumor suppressor gene CDKN1B,encoding for the p27^(Kip1)(p27)protein,defines the smallest region of deletion on chromosome 12p13 described in clonal hematopoietic disorders(CHDs)[1].Among them,myelodysplastic syndromes(MDSs)display typical onset in the elderly and an indolent behavior that may evolve in acute myeloid leukemia(AML)[2].Recent evidences support a model of parallel clonal evolution at the stem or progenitor cell level and implicate the need of more preclinical,translational and clinical research to identify better ways to timely target clones that may evolve toward malignancy[3,4].
