Components of the spliceosome are frequently mutated in haematopoietic malignancies. Identification of mis-spliced genes promoting transformation will uncover novel targeted therapies. Now, a long isoform of IRAK4 is shown to be upregulated in a subset of acute myeloid leukaemia patients, conferring susceptibility for IRAK4 inhibition therapy.
