Résumé

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a rare and challenging type of myeloproliferative neoplasm. Poor prognosis and high mortality, associated predominantly with progression to secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML), is still an unsolved problem. Despite a growing body of knowledge about the molecular repertoire of this disease, at present, the prognostic significance of CMML-associated mutations is controversial. The absence of available CMML cell lines and the small number of patients with CMML make pre-clinical testing and clinical trials complicated. Currently, specific therapy for CMML has not been approved; most of the currently available therapeutic approaches are based on myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and other myeloproliferative neoplasm (MNP) studies. In this regard, the development of the robust CMML animal models is currently the focus of interest. This review describes important studies concerning animal models of CMML, examples of methodological approaches, and the obtained hematologic phenotypes.
