Single-Cell Multi-Omics Uncovers Abnormal Splicing Driving Myelodysplastic Syndrome
A new single-cell multi-omics technique provides unprecedented insight into how mutations disrupt RNA splicing and drive myelodysplastic syndrome. Analyzing individual bone marrow cells revealed splicing alterations that promote ineffective hematopoiesis in MDS. The findings elucidate how mutant splicing factor SF3B1 perturbs cell maturation, survival, and differentiation – tilting development toward malformed red blood cells. This tour de force study establishes single-cell analysis of splicing networks as a powerful tool to illuminate mechanisms of splicing-related diseases like MDS.
