Prevalence and Prognosis of Secondary Genetic Aberrations Among Patients With Core Binding Factor Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Mitelman Database Analysis.

Background: Core binding factor acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML) comprises t(8;21) and inv(16) and usually has a favorable prognosis. However, a wide spectrum of secondary genetic aberrations has been shown to be associated with worse outcomes with respect to overall survival (OS) and relapse. We aimed to identify secondary molecular and chromosomal aberrations within each group of CBF-AML, i.
