Clinical characteristics and prognosis analysis of patients with de novo ASXL1‐mutated AML treated with the C‐HUNAN‐AML‐15 protocol: A multicenter study by the South China Pediatric AML Collaborative Group

Background ASXL1 mutation is an independent prognostic factor in adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but its effect on the prognosis of pediatric AML is poorly understood.

Zusammenfassung:Background ASXL1 mutation is an independent prognostic factor in adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but its effect on the prognosis of pediatric AML is poorly understood. Aims This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of ASXL1‐mutant pediatric AML from a large Chinese multicenter cohort. Methods A total of 584 pediatric patients with newly diagnosed AML from 10 centers in South China were enrolled. The exon 13 of ASXL1 was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and then analyzed the mutation status of the locus. (n = 59 for ASXL1‐mut group, n = 487 for ASXL1‐wt group). Results ASXL1 mutations were found in 10.81% of all patients with AML. A complex karyotype was significantly less common in the ASXL1‐mut AML group than in the ASXL1‐wt group (1.7% vs. 11.9%, p = 0.013). Furthermore, TET2 or TP53 mutations were predominantly found in the ASXL1+ group (p = 0.003 and 0.023, respectively). The 5‐year overall survival (OS) and event‐free survival (EFS) of the total cohort were 76.9% and 69.9%. In ASXL1‐mut AML patients, a white blood cell (WBC) count ≥50 × 109/L had significantly poorer 5‐year OS and EFS than a WBC count
