Initial CHORUS data on HHT and ASH HematOmics Program

Initial CHORUS data on HHT and ASH HematOmics Program

Author: American Society of Hematology July 23, 2026 Duration: 26:14

In this week's episode, Blood editor Dr. James Griffin interviews Drs. Hanny Al-Samkari and Xin Zhou on their latest articles published in Blood. This episode highlights two important advances in hematology: the first report from the CHORUS registry for hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) presented by Dr. Al-Samkari and also the introduction of the ASH Hematomics (ASHOP) platform for integrative genomic data analysis presented by Dr. Zhou. The CHORUS registry reveals that HHT is a progressive, underrecognized inherited bleeding disorder with a substantial burden of recurrent bleeding, iron deficiency, arteriovenous malformations, and life-threatening complications, while emphasizing the need for earlier diagnosis and the development of targeted therapies. The second presentation introduces ASHOP, an open-access platform that enables researchers to explore and integrate large-scale clinical and genomic datasets, facilitating discoveries in leukemia and other hematologic diseases through advanced analytical tools. Together, these studies demonstrate how comprehensive patient registries and innovative data-sharing resources are advancing precision medicine, improving disease understanding, and accelerating future research across hematology.


Produced by the American Society of Hematology, the Blood Podcast serves as an audio companion to the groundbreaking research found in its namesake journal. Each episode delves into the latest published studies, translating complex findings on blood disorders, cancers, and immune system functions into accessible discussions. You'll hear directly from the researchers and clinicians who are shaping the field, as they break down their methodologies, interpret results, and explore the real-world implications for patient care. This isn't just a summary; it's a critical conversation that examines the how and why behind the science, offering context that the printed page alone cannot provide. Whether you're a practicing hematologist, a trainee in the field, or simply fascinated by the intricate world of human biology, this podcast provides a vital stream of knowledge. It connects the dots between laboratory discovery and clinical practice, all while exploring topics that span from foundational biology to cutting-edge therapeutic advances. Tune in for a thoughtful analysis that makes the latest hematology research comprehensible and immediately relevant to your work or curiosity.
