En este artículo se presentan las principales conclusiones de un proyecto de investigación acerca de los cuidados familiares a personas mayores y dependientes en Galicia. Esta comunidad cuenta con un elevado índice de envejecimiento y un fuerte contraste sociodemográfico entre las zonas rurales y urbanas. Dichas características nos proporcionan un interesante laboratorio de análisis para examinar cómo se conjugan los cuidados en el ámbito familiar. En concreto, este trabajo examina el tipo de negociaciones intrafamiliares que llevan a unas mujeres, habitualmente hijas y solteras (y no a otros miembros de la familia), a desarrollar el trabajo de cuidado. En segundo término, se presenta el tipo de condiciones de trabajo que rodean el cuidado familiar, y su impacto en las condiciones de vida y en la salud de estas cuidadoras.

These technologies have contributed to the molecular characterization of the myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML), through the identification of recurrent gene mutations, which are present in >80% of patients. These mutations contribute to a better classification and risk stratification of the patients. Currently, clinical laboratories include NGS genomic analyses in their routine clinical practice, in an effort to personalize the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of MDS and CMML. NGS technologies have reduced the cost of large-scale sequencing, but there are additional challenges involving the clinical validation of these technologies, as continuous advances are constantly being made. In this context, it is of major importance to standardize the generation, analysis, clinical interpretation and reporting of NGS data. To that end, the Spanish MDS Group (GESMD) has expanded the present set of guidelines, aiming to establish common quality standards for the adequate implementation of NGS and clinical interpretation of the results, hoping that this effort will ultimately contribute to the benefit of patients with myeloid malignancies.
