Summary and Conclusion

Refractory cytopenia of childhood (RCC) is characterized by a distinct

morpholocial and histopathological pattern.

RCC can be separated from acquired SAA at diagnosis in a reproducible

and reliable fashion.

Prior to the establishment of a diagnosis of RCC inherited bone marrow failure

disorders need to be excluded. Chromosomal breakage test (FA)and telomere

length measurements (DC) are strongly recommended.

Cross-continental collaboration is required to analyze and classify pediatric

cohorts with bone marrow failure.

Genomic studies will help to eventually unravel the nature of disorders

currently best classified as RCC.

A Favorable Outcome In Children with Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia (JMML) with RAS Mutations

(ASH 2010)

Spontaneous improvement of JMML with RAS Mutations

Autoimmune lymphoproliferative like disease

with somatic KRAS and NRAS Mutations

• Disorder characterized by :

hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, autoimmune cytopenia

and other autoimmune disease

• Disorder does neither fit criteria for ALPS nor JMML

Masatoshi Takagi, et al. Blood 2020

• Clonality? Which cell lines at which progenitor precursor stage involved?
