Key Points Exome sequencing of severe hemophilia A patients with/without inhibitors identified rare, damaging variants in immunoregulatory genes. Replication confirmed the association of rs3754689 in a conserved haplotype region surrounding the LCT locus with inhibitor development.

Key Points Whole exome sequencing reveals novel mutations in ARAF that activate the kinase and are inhibitable by vemurafenib in a patient with LCH. Requiring the presence of BRAF V600E in LCH to qualify for rat fibrosarcoma inhibitor treatment may be overly exclusionary.

Key Points A novel gain-of-function mutation in factor V leading to increased levels of TFPI and bleeding was identified by whole exome sequencing. Factor V Amsterdam (F5 C2588G) resembles the mutation (F5 A2350G) leading to East Texas bleeding disorder.

Key Points Whole-exome sequencing of CLL patients who relapsed after FCR treatment revealed frequent mutations in RPS15. RPS15 mutations are likely to be early clonal events and confer poor prognosis.

Key Points Whole-exome sequencing reveals the presence of recurrent somatic mutations of ETNK1 in patients with atypical chronic myeloid leukemia. ETNK1 mutations impair the catalytic activity of the enzyme, causing a decrease in the intracellular levels of phosphoethanolamine.

Key Points Nonneutralizing antibodies against FVIII are detected in untreated or minimally treated patients with hemophilia A. The presence of nonneutralizing antibodies is associated with a substantially increased risk of inhibitor development.

Key Points Exome sequencing of adult ETP-ALL reveals new recurrent mutations; in particular, DNMT3A is frequently mutated in adult ETP-ALL. More than 60% of all adult patients with ETP-ALL harbor a mutation that could potentially be targeted by a specific therapy.

Key Points It has been suggested that rFVIII, which is more immunogenic than plasma-derived FVIII (pdFVIII), can be safely used in low-risk patients. Among 235 participants in a randomized trial, genetic risk stratification did not identify a low-risk group for treatment with rFVIII.
