AML with myelodysplasia-related
gene mutations
ASXL1, BCOR, EZH2, RUNX1, SF3B1, SRSF2, STAG2, U2AF1, ZRSR2
BREASSSUZ- BCOR, RUNX1, EZH2, ASXL1, SRSF2, SF3B1, STAG2, U2AF1, ZRSR2
hierarchy of AML classification

Germline disposition
AML with myelodysplasia-related cytogenetic abnormalities
Complex karyotype

7+5=12
12+5=17
5+5+5+5=20
Therapy related AML after alkylating agents/radiation
5-7 years latency
preceded by MDS
complex karyotype
Therapy related AML after topoisomerase Tx
1-3 years latency
Antecedent MDS is rare
MLL rearrangement
Important germline mutations in AML and there presetation
DDX41- older age of presentation, thalasemia like
ANKRD26, ETV6, and RUNX1- Platelet defects
GATA2- immunodeficiency
Shwachman Diamond syndrome- pancreatic insufficiency+ skeletal dysplasia
Fanconi anemia- facial dysmorphism, squamous cell carcinomas, liver tumors
Dyskeratosis congenita with pulmonary fibrosis, liver cirrhosis,
and vascular anomalies
Precurser markers in AML
CD34, CD117, HLA-DR
Myeloid markers in AML
Cytoplasmic MPO, CD33, CD13
Monocytic markers in AML
CD14, CD36, CD64, lysozyme
CD4, CD38,
CD11c
Megakaryocytic markers in AML
CD41 (glycoprotein IIb/IIIa), CD61
(glycoprotein IIIa), CD36
MPAL immuphenotype
MPO/monocytic+ CD3 or (CD19+CD79a/CD22/CD10)
Erythroid markers in AML
CD235a (glycophorin A), CD71,
CD36
Favorable risk AML
inv16 (core binding factor)
t8:21 (RUNX1)
NPM1
bZIP in frame CEPBA
Intermediate risk AML
FLT3
t(9:11) MLL:KMT2A
NOS
Poor risk AML
T(6:9) -Basophilia
inv3- EVI1
t(8:16)
t(9:22)
MDS related mutations/cytogentic abnormalities
p53
timing of response assesment in AML
2 cycles of intensive therapy
180 days of VV
CPX-351
Post MDS (Hx or cyto(genetic))
pts 60-75
less mucositis and TRM
better OS (18% vs 10%)
IDH1 i combination in ND AML
AGILE
HMA +- Ivosidenib
Differentiation syndrome 14%
24 months median OS
Principal of tranplant decision in AML (risk/benefit)
When relapse rates are >35-40%
MAC vs RIC in AML
BMT CTN 0901 trial
improved OS with MAC
Marked reduction in relapse
mainly if MRD positive before transplant
Number of chemo cycles prior to transplant in AML
no advantage for >2 cycles
Giltretinib maintenance post transplant in AML
Advantage only if MRD positive pre- or post-HCT
VV maintenance in post transplant AML
still in research
seems safe and effective
5 days pf AZA (35mg/m2) with 14 days ven 400 mg
