Article Synopsis
  • A study on 899 AML patients from July 2016 to December 2021 found that 5.6% had specific mutations, which interacted with other mutations but were not found with certain others.
  • The presence of these mutations was linked to lower remission rates and worse outcomes for those receiving intensive chemotherapy.
  • The research indicates that these mutations serve as an independent prognostic factor for AML, suggesting their role as a new marker for severe disease and poor prognosis.

Background: Satisfactory responses can be obtained for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treated by Venetoclax (VEN)-based therapy. However, there are still quite a few AML patients (AMLs) resistant to VEN, and it is critical to understand whether VEN-resistance is regulated by senescence.

Methods: Here, we established and validated a signature for predicting AML prognosis based on VEN resistance-related senescence genes (VRSGs).

Introduction: Myeloid tumors typically harbor TP53 mutations, which are linked to a dismal prognosis. There are fewer studies on whether TP53-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome with excess blasts (MDS-EB) differ in molecular characteristics and should be considered as separate entities.

Methods: Between January 2016 and December 2021, a retrospective analysis was done on a total of 73 newly diagnosed AML patients and 61 MDS-EB patients from the first affiliated hospital of Soochow University.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a special subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 95% patients have PML-RARA fusion gene as a result of a reciprocal chromosomal translocation t(15;17)(q22; q21). The retinoic acid receptors (RARs) belong to nuclear hormone receptors which modulate the transcription of DNA elements. RARs have three isoforms: retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA), retinoic acid receptor beta (RARB) and retinoic acid receptor gamma (RARG).
