Mutations involving epigenetic regulators (TET260% and ASXL140%) and splicing components (SRSF2~50%) are frequent in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). On a 27-gene targeted capture panel performed on 175 CMML patients (66% males, median age 70 years), common mutations included: TET2 46%, ASXL1 47%, SRSF2 45% and SETBP1 19%. A total of 172 (98%) patients had at least one mutation, 21 (12%) had 2, 24 (14%) had 3 and 30 (17%) had >3 mutations. In a univariate analysis, the presence of ASXL1 mutations (P=0.02) and the absence of TET2 mutations (P=0.03), adversely impacted survival; while the number of concurrent mutations had no impact (P=0.3). In a multivariable analysis that included hemoglobin, platelet count, absolute monocyte count and circulating immature myeloid cells (Mayo model), the presence of ASXL1 mutations (P=0.01) and absence of TET2 mutations (P=0.003) retained prognostic significance. Patients were stratified into four categories: ASXL1wt/TET2wt (n=56), ASXL1mut/TET2wt (n=31), ASXL1mut/TET2mut (n=50) and ASXL1wt/TET2mut (n=38). Survival data demonstrated a significant difference in favor of ASXL1wt/TET2mut (38 months; P=0.016), compared with those with ASXL1wt/TET2wt (19 months), ASXL1mut/TET2wt (21 months) and ASXL1mut/TET2mut (16 months) (P=0.3). We confirm the negative prognostic impact imparted by ASXL1 mutations and suggest a favorable impact from TET2 mutations in the absence of ASXL1 mutations.
涉及表观遗传调节因子(TET2约60%,ASXL1约40%)和剪接成分(SRSF2约50%)的突变在慢性粒单核细胞白血病(CMML)中很常见。在对175例CMML患者(66%为男性,中位年龄70岁)进行的27基因靶向捕获检测中,常见突变包括:TET2 46%,ASXL1 47%,SRSF2 45%和SETBP1 19%。共有172例(98%)患者至少有一个突变,21例(12%)有2个突变,24例(14%)有3个突变,30例(17%)有超过3个突变。在单因素分析中,ASXL1突变的存在(P=0.02)和TET2突变的缺失(P=0.03)对生存有不利影响;而同时存在的突变数量没有影响(P=0.3)。在包括血红蛋白、血小板计数、绝对单核细胞计数和循环未成熟髓系细胞的多因素分析(梅奥模型)中,ASXL1突变的存在(P=0.01)和TET2突变的缺失(P=0.003)保留了预后意义。患者被分为四类:ASXL1野生型/TET2野生型(n=56),ASXL1突变型/TET2野生型(n=31),ASXL1突变型/TET2突变型(n=50)和ASXL1野生型/TET2突变型(n=38)。生存数据显示,与ASXL1野生型/TET2野生型(19个月)、ASXL1突变型/TET2野生型(21个月)和ASXL1突变型/TET2突变型(16个月)相比,ASXL1野生型/TET2突变型患者的生存情况有显著差异(38个月;P=0.016)(P=0.3)。我们证实了ASXL1突变带来的负面预后影响,并表明在没有ASXL1突变的情况下,TET2突变有有利影响。
