Clinical Utility of Next-Generation Sequencing for Oncogenic Mutations in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia Undergoing Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation.

ABSTRACT: To determine the association of somatic mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with risk of relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT), we retrospectively studied pre-transplantation genetic profiles obtained from next-generation sequencing of 26 genes in 112 adult patients with AML who underwent alloHSCT. Univariable and multivariable regression analyses were used to assess the association between the presence of a pathogenic mutation and risk of relapse after alloHSCT. Eighty-six percent (96 of 112) of patients had at least 1 pathogenic mutation. Mutations in TP53, WT1, and FLT3-internal tandem duplication (ITD) were associated with an increased risk of relapse after alloHSCT (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 2.90; P = .009; aHR, 2.51; P= .02; and aHR, 1.8
