Epstein-Barr virus genomic variants in human disease states, somatic GATA1 mutations and leukemia in Down syndrome, and new definitions for high-risk multiple myeloma

In this week's episode, we’ll learn more about relationships between Epstein-Barr virus genomic variants and human diseases, including hematological malignancies; the presence and timing of somatic GATA1 mutations and their relationship to a Down syndrome-specific form of leukemia; and new definitions for high-risk multiple myeloma that emphasize the presence of two or more high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities.
