Advantages of a genomic DNA-based next-generation sequencing assay for detection of mutant NPM1 measurable residual disease in AML.

Abstract

Mutations in the nucleophosmin-1 (NPM1) gene are among the most common molecular aberrations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Various studies have established mutant NPM1 (mNPM1) as a faithful molecular measurable residual disease (MRD) marker with prognostic significance. Assessment of prognostic mNPM1 is included in the European LeukemiaNet recommendations on MRD detection in AML. Because of recent advancements of promising drugs targeting mNPM1 AML, monitoring of mNPM1 MRD has gained interest, and is generally done by reverse transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). However, these RT-qPCR assays use complementary DNA (cDNA) as input, are based on gene expression levels of mNPM1, and are generally limited to specific mNPM1 gene variants. The main a
