Recent advances in molecular profiling have revealed key oncogenic drivers, including MEN1 (menin 1), DAXX (death domain–associated protein), ATRX (alpha thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked), CDKN1B (cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B) mutations, chromatin remodeling defects, and dysregulation of the mTOR pathway. This evidence concerns the gene CDKN1B and alpha thalassemia spectrum.
