Prognostic Prediction of Cytogenetically Normal Acute Myeloid Leukemia Based on a Gene Expression Model.

ABSTRACT: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) refers to a heterogeneous group of hematopoietic malignancies. The well-known European Leukemia Network (ELN) stratifies AML patients into three risk groups, based primarily on the detection of cytogenetic abnormalities. However, the prognosis of cytogenetically normal AML (CN-AML), which is the largest AML subset, can be hard to define. Moreover, the clinical outcomes associated with this subgroup are diverse. In this study, using transcriptome profiles collected from CN-AML patients in the BeatAML cohort, we constructed a robust prognostic Cox model named NEST (Nine-gEne SignaTure). The validity of NEST was confirmed in four external independent cohorts. Moreover, the risk score predicted by the NEST model remained an independent prognostic factor in multivar
