ABSTRACT
Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) mutations have been identified in a substantial number of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Favorable outcomes in AML cases with NPM1 mutations have been previously reported. However, widely differing survival estimates have been indicated. Therefore, a meta-analysis of nine studies including a total of 4509 subjects was performed. The frequency of NPM1 mutations was found to be 6.45-56.08%. NPM1-mutation type (NPM1-mt) patients had >2-fold higher odds of achieving complete remission compared with NPM1-wild-type (NPM1-wt). The summary hazard ratio (HR) of NPM1-mt/NPM1-wt for disease-free survival (DFS) and OS was 0.67 and 0.63, respectively. In conclusion, these findings suggest that the NPM1 mutation has a favorable effect on the outcome for AML. The present meta-analysis was based on data abstracted from observational studies. However, the results obtained may justify the risk-adapted therapeutic strategies for AML according to the NPM1 status.
