Gene mutation status impacts overall survival in acute myeloid leukemia


 

Key clinical point: Gene set variation analysis (GSVA) showed that the PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway was positively related to FLT3-ITD mutation.

Major finding: In patients with acute myeloid leukemia, expression of RPS6KA1 and AP2M1 were predictors of chemoresistance and overall survival.

Study details: The data come from four genetic data sets: GSE6891, GSE10358, GSE15434, and GSE61804 of patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

Disclosures: The study was supported by the Young & Middle-aged Medical Key Talents Training Project of Wuhan. The researchers had no financial conflicts to disclose.
