Hemophilia prophylaxis with fitusiran vs BPA/CFC; germline NBN variants in pediatric B-ALL; Histone demethylation and cell-intrinsic immune response in AML

In this week's episode we'll learn about fitusiran prophylaxis in patients with hemophilia A or B, with or without inhibitors. Next we'll hear about new findings that heterozygous germline variants in the NBN gene that are linked to increased risk of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children. Finally, we'll explore new insights on the histone demethylase PHF8, which has been identified as a master regulator of cell-intrinsic immune responses in acute myeloid leukemia.
