The project aims to provide mechanistic insights into how these co-occurring mutations contribute to the...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $146,922 to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine to investigate the mechanisms driving hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) dysfunction associated with the inherited form of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The research aims to decipher how environmental factors synergize with the DDX41 gene mutation to promote HSPC dysfunction, including the potential...
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) has awarded a $165,080 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) in Boston, MA. The grant will fund a 5-year research project led by Dr. Lachelle D. Weeks to define the relationship between clonal hematopoiesis (CH) and inflammatory disease outcomes. The project aims to: 1) Determine the association between CH and rheumatologic diseases, 2) Identify CH genotypes...
This Project Grant award of $240,750.00, provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research), supports the development of advanced mouse models to study the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) caused by mutations in the DDX41 gene. The project aims to generate mouse models that accurately reflect the natural progression of DDX41-mutated MDS, including...
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded a $1,999,247 Project Grant (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to the Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $435,804 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research (CFDA 93.837) program to Childrens Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. The grant will fund research to elucidate the mechanistic basis for the selective advantage of the acquired DDX41R525H mutation in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) of patients with germline DDX41 mutations, who develop myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and related myeloid malignancies. The research aims to understand how HSCs bearing biallelic DDX41 mutations, which are normally selected against, are able to survive and expand to contribute to disease. The project will use single-cell sequencing and genetically engineered cell models to determine the impact of the R525H DDX41 mutation on HSC function and MDS pathogenesis, with the long-term goal of identifying new therapeutic targets.
