By combining genomic data with treatment response, we are moving closer to a future where therapy is perfectly tailored to every patient.🏥

At #𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐒𝐇2026 in Seoul!🩸

@avmoorman.bsky.social is presenting on integrating Genetics & MRD in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia🧬

🎯 Goal: Subtype-specific MRD thresholds to reduce over-treatment.
🚀 Future: Flexible risk algorithms to support novel therapies.

Twin sisters discover they are identical after one is diagnosed with leukaemia Caitlin and Grace Leggett, twin sisters from Cardiff, believed they were fraternal twins until a medical emergency revealed otherwise. At age 23, Caitlin was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), a fast-progressing cancer affecting white blood cells. As part of her treatment, she required a stem cell transplant, and initially, her sister Grace was considered a potential donor due to their close genetic relation. However, doctors discovered that the sisters were in fact identical twins, meaning Grace's stem cells could not be used because a successful transplant requires the donor's cells to be recognized as foreign by the recipient's body to attack remaining cancer cells. This discovery complicated Caitlin's treatment, leading to her participation in a clinical trial in Manchester and additional full-body radiotherapy. Eventually, Caitlin successfully received a transplant from an anonymous donor. The sisters are now advocating for more people to register as stem cell donors, emphasizing that the donation process is quick but life-changing for recipients. The story also highlights the medical and emotional challenges faced by young adults confronting unexpected cancer diagnoses and the importance of donor registration for life-saving treatments.
