[Appropriate use of the ELN guidelines based on results of real-world genetic analysis in Japanese patients with AML].

ABSTRACT

Researchers in the field of acute myeloid leukemia have long sought to establish a prognostic stratification system for clinical use that combines multiple genetic mutations. In 2022, the European LeukemiaNet (ELN) proposed a new prognostic model incorporating new genetic mutations. However, Japanese National Health insurance only recently began covering clinical genetic analysis for AML. We established the Multi-center Collaborative Program for Gene Sequencing of Japanese AML (GS-JAML) to contribute to clinical practice by providing rapid genetic analysis results. Retrospective analysis of this research program revealed (1) the clinical significance of CEBPA-bZIP mutations, and (2) the clinical significance of DNMT3A mutations in NPM1 mutated AML.
