The significant heterogeneity of elderly AML patients' biological features has caused stratification difficulties and adverse prognosis. This paper did a correlation study between their genetic mutations, clinical features, and prognosis to further stratify them.
90 newly diagnosed elderly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients (aged ≥60 years) who detected genetic mutations by next-generation sequencing (NGS) were enrolled between April 2015 and March 2021 in our medical center.
A total of 29 genetic mutations were identified in 82 patients among 90 cases with a frequency of 91.1%. DNMT3A, BCOR, U2AF1, and BCORL1 mutations were unevenly distributed among different FAB classifications ( < 0.05). DNMT3A, IDH2, NPM1, FLT3-ITD, ASXL1, IDH1, SRSF2, BCOR, NRAS, RUNX1, U2AF1, MPO, and WT1 mutations were distributed differently when an immunophenotype was expressed or not expressed (<0.05). NPM1 and FLT3-ITD had higher mutation frequencies in patients with normal chromosome karyotypes than abnormal chromosome karyotypes (<0.001, =0.005). DNMT3A and NRAS mutations predicted lower CR rates. DNMT3A, TP53, and U2AF1 mutations were related to unfavorable OS. TET2 mutation with CD123+, CD11b+ or CD34- predicted lower CR rate. IDH2+/CD34- predicted lower CR rate. ASXL1+/CD38+ and SRSF2+/CD123- predicted shorter OS.
The study showed specific correlations between elderly AML patients' genetic mutations and clinical features, some of which may impact prognosis.
老年 AML 患者的生物学特征存在显著异质性,导致分层困难和预后不良。本研究对其基因突变、临床特征与预后进行相关性研究,以进一步对其进行分层。
本研究纳入了 2015 年 4 月至 2021 年 3 月在我院经下一代测序(NGS)检测到基因突变的 90 例新诊断的老年急性髓系白血病(AML)患者(年龄≥60 岁)。
在 90 例病例中,有 82 例患者共检测到 29 种基因突变,发生率为 91.1%。DNMT3A、BCOR、U2AF1 和 BCORL1 基因突变在不同 FAB 分类中分布不均(<0.05)。DNMT3A、IDH2、NPM1、FLT3-ITD、ASXL1、IDH1、SRSF2、BCOR、NRAS、RUNX1、U2AF1、MPO 和 WT1 基因突变在免疫表型表达或不表达时分布不同(<0.05)。正常染色体核型患者 NPM1 和 FLT3-ITD 基因突变频率高于异常染色体核型患者(<0.001,=0.005)。DNMT3A 和 NRAS 基因突变预测较低的 CR 率。DNMT3A、TP53 和 U2AF1 基因突变与不良 OS 相关。TET2 突变伴 CD123+、CD11b+或 CD34-预测较低的 CR 率。IDH2+/CD34-预测较低的 CR 率。ASXL1+/CD38+和 SRSF2+/CD123-预测较短的 OS。
本研究表明老年 AML 患者的基因突变与临床特征存在特定的相关性,其中一些可能影响预后。
