DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The inherited bone marrow failure and myelodysplastic syndromes (iBMF/MDS) are a heterogeneous group of disorders that are characterized by impaired hematopoiesis and a propensity to progress to leukemia. Despite recent advances in the field, a significant percentage of patients presenting with inherited marrow failure or MDS do not fall into the known diagnostic categories and remain idiopathic. Since many of these genetic syndromes entail specific management and treatment considerations that differ significantly from standard therapies used for acquired marrow failure/MDS, accurate diagnosis is essential. This is a resource development and gene discovery grant investigating iBMF/MDS to characterize their phenotypic spectrum, to develop novel imaging modalities for bone marrow pathology, and to gain insights into the genetic and molecular mechanisms regulating hematopoiesis and marrow failure. We will apply cutting edge genomics approaches to samples from comprehensively phenotyped children and adults to identify new genes responsible for iBMF/MDS. This project will also investigate the clinical and biological consequences of somatically acquired genetic mutations on disease progression and prognosis in iBMF/MDS and determine the similarities or differences in genetic landscapes between inherited versus acquired marrow failure/MDS. We will also interrogate seemingly sporadic marrow failure or MDS presenting in the general population for cryptic presentations of inherited disorders. Resources generated for the broader clinical and scientific communities will include high-throughput multiplexed gene analysis platforms for iBMF/MDS, evidence- based algorithms for the diagnostic workup and management of iBMF/MDS, centralized hematopathology review, and comprehensively clinically annotated biological samples for further investigation. This project should yield new insights into blood cell development and the molecular pathogenesis of marrow failure and MDS; will advance the development of new diagnostic tests, therapies and biomarkers for marrow failure and MDS; will provide clinical resources forthe hematology community; and will provide new tools and methods for future studies ofthe molecular pathways regulating hematopoiesis.

描述（由申请人提供）：遗传性骨髓衰竭和骨髓增生异常综合征（iBMF/MDS）是一组异质性疾病，其特征为造血功能受损和进展为白血病的倾向。尽管该领域最近取得了进展，但相当大比例的遗传性骨髓衰竭或MDS患者不属于已知的诊断类别，仍然是特发性的。由于这些遗传综合征中的许多需要特定的管理和治疗考虑，与用于获得性骨髓衰竭/MDS的标准疗法显著不同，因此准确的诊断至关重要。这是一项资源开发和基因发现资助，旨在研究iBMF/MDS，以表征其表型谱，开发用于骨髓病理学的新型成像方式，并深入了解调节造血和骨髓衰竭的遗传和分子机制。我们将应用最先进的基因组学方法对来自综合表型儿童和成人的样本进行分析，以确定负责iBMF/MDS的新基因。该项目还将研究体细胞获得性基因突变对iBMF/MDS疾病进展和预后的临床和生物学后果，并确定遗传性与获得性骨髓衰竭/MDS之间遗传景观的相似性或差异。我们还将询问一般人群中看似散发的骨髓衰竭或MDS，以寻找遗传性疾病的神秘表现。为更广泛的临床和科学界产生的资源将包括用于iBMF/MDS的高通量多重基因分析平台、用于iBMF/MDS的诊断检查和管理的循证算法、集中的血液病理学审查以及用于进一步研究的全面临床注释的生物样品。该项目将对血细胞发育和骨髓衰竭及MDS的分子发病机制产生新的见解;将促进骨髓衰竭和MDS的新诊断测试、疗法和生物标志物的开发;将为血液学界提供临床资源;并将为未来调节造血的分子途径的研究提供新的工具和方法。
