- Abstract
The landscape of haematological malignancies is constantly evolving, driven by advances in our understanding of their genetic basis. This has cumulated within the 5th Edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Haematolymphoid Tumours published in short form in 2022 [1, 2] and being available in full length both as "Blue Book" (in print expected early 2024) as well as web-based classification (see: https://tumourclassification.iarc.who.int/welcome/). Similarly, the importance of genetic alterations for the classification is highlighted in other classification systems related to haematologic neoplasms [3–5]. In this special issue of the Medizinische Genetik, we present a comprehensive overview of the genetic alterations contributing to the classification of haematolymphoid neoplasms in the 5th Edition of the WHO classification (WHO-HAEM5) and its diagnostic relevance in the context of various haematological malignancies.
