Abstract

AML with mutated NPM1 occurs in all age groups. Yet, the mutational pattern is not extensively studied in the very old, which may hamper appropriate risk assessment. Herein we examined 22 cases of NPM1-mutated de novo AML in patients older than 75, with a median age of 84. All diagnostic samples were sequenced aiming for coverage of the most relevant AML-associated mutations. For comparison with younger patients, we used already published data on several cohorts. A total of 76 mutations including 50 different variants were identified in 16 recurrently mutated AML genes. Compared with younger patients, a significant enrichment of TET2 and SRSF2 was observed, together with a reduced frequency of DNMT3A mutations. Our results indicate that... (More)
