[The Correlation of Gene Mutation and Clinical Characteristics in Patients with Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Prognostic Analysis].

OBJECTIVE

To explore the correlation between gene mutations and clinical characteristics, prognosis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).

METHODS

Clinical data of 131 patients with MDS were collected from the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from June 2015 to February 2023, which 19 of them developed into secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML) during follow-up time. Second generation sequencing technology was used to detect the mutation types of MDS disease-related genes, drawn gene maps, and analyzed their correlation and prognosis based on the clinical data of patients.

RESULTS

The median age of 131 MDS patients was 58(17-86) years old. The ratio of male to female was 1.3∶1. A total of 148 gene mutations and 25 types were found in the center. and were often co-mutations with other genes, which were accompanied by 20q- and normal karyotype (NK) respectively. and were more common in patients over 60 years old, while and under 60 years. Older patients had a higher the number of genetic mutations than younger patients. The incidence of and in males was higher than females and in females was higher than males. The number of gene mutations in sAML was higher than MDS (1.8 1.0, =0.006). The univariate and multivariate analysis showed that IPSS-R prognostic score≥3.5, were adverse factors for poor prognosis in MDS patients. Patients with monoallelic mutation（ma-）and wild-type（wt-） had OS better than biallelic mutation（bi-）( =0.003). The OS of MDS patients was better than sAML( =0.01) and transplant patients was significantly better than nontransplant patients( =0.036).

CONCLUSION

Gene mutation is closely related to cytogenetic indexes and clinical features (peripheral blood cell count, sex, age). IPSS-R prognostic score and were risk factors affecting OS in MDS patients.
