Chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia is classified as proliferative (pCMML) or dysplastic based on the white blood cell counts but biological differences are unclear. Here, the authors show genetic, transcriptomic and epigenomic differences between these two subtypes establishing that pCMML is RAS-pathway driven and that inhibiting RAS-driven PLK1 expression is a viable therapeutic target.
