Mutation spectrum, expression profiling, and prognosis evaluation of Fanconi anemia signaling pathway genes for 4259 patients with myelodysplastic syndromes or acute myeloid leukemia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Individuals diagnosed with Fanconi anemia (FA), an uncommon disorder characterized by chromosomal instability affecting the FA signaling pathway, exhibit heightened vulnerability to the onset of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Methods

Herein, we employed diverse bioinformatics and statistical analyses to investigate the potential associations between the expression/mutation patterns of FA pathway genes and MDS/AML.

Results

The study included 4295 samples, comprising 3235 AML and 1024 MDS from our and nine other online cohorts. We investigated the distinct proportion of race, age, French-American-British, and gender factors. Compared to the FA wild-type group, we observed a decrease in the expression of FNACD2, FANCI, and RAD51C in the FA mutation group. The FA mutation group exhibited a more favorable clinical overall survival prognosis. We developed a random forest classifier and a decision tree based on FA gene expression for cytogenetic risk assessment. Furthermore, we created an FA-related Nomogram to predict survival rates in AML patients.

Conclusions

This investigation facilitates a deeper understanding of the functional links between FA and MDS/AML.

Project description:BackgroundThe molecular determinants of clinical responses to decitabine therapy in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are unclear.MethodsWe enrolled 84 adult patients with AML or MDS in a single-institution trial of decitabine to identify somatic mutations and their relationships to clinical responses. Decitabine was administered at a dose of 20 mg per square meter of body-surface area per day for 10 consecutive days in monthly cycles. We performed enhanced exome or gene-panel sequencing in 67 of these patients and serial sequencing at multiple time points to evaluate patterns of mutation clearance in 54 patients. An extension cohort included 32 additional patients who received decitabine in different protocols.ResultsOf the 116 patients, 53 (46%) had bone marrow blast clearance (<5% blasts). Response rates were higher among patients with an unfavorable-risk cytogenetic profile than among patients with an intermediate-risk or favorable-risk cytogenetic profile (29 of 43 patients [67%] vs. 24 of 71 patients [34%], P<0.001) and among patients with TP53 mutations than among patients with wild-type TP53 (21 of 21 [100%] vs. 32 of 78 [41%], P<0.001). Previous studies have consistently shown that patients with an unfavorable-risk cytogenetic profile and TP53 mutations who receive conventional chemotherapy have poor outcomes. However, in this study of 10-day courses of decitabine, neither of these risk factors was associated with a lower rate of overall survival than the rate of survival among study patients with intermediate-risk cytogenetic profiles.ConclusionsPatients with AML and MDS who had cytogenetic abnormalities associated with unfavorable risk, TP53 mutations, or both had favorable clinical responses and robust (but incomplete) mutation clearance after receiving serial 10-day courses of decitabine. Although these responses were not durable, they resulted in rates of overall survival that were similar to those among patients with AML who had an intermediate-risk cytogenetic profile and who also received serial 10-day courses of decitabine.
