Bone marrow WT1 levels in patients with myeloid neoplasms treated with 5‐azacytidine: Identification of responding patients

Introduction Increased levels of Wilms’ tumor (WT1) mRNA have been used to establish risk categories in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Raised values of WT1 have been associated with progression in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Methods We retrospectively analyzed the available bone mar...

Zusammenfassung:Introduction Increased levels of Wilms’ tumor (WT1) mRNA have been used to establish risk categories in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Raised values of WT1 have been associated with progression in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Methods We retrospectively analyzed the available bone marrow (BM) samples from 115 patients with myeloid neoplasms obtained before and during treatment with 5‐azacytidine. A threshold of 100 copies in BM was used to define risk groups: group 1: patients with WT1 levels always below
