AML with mutated NPM1 carrying a normal or aberrant karyotype show overlapping features


ABSTRACT: AML with mutated NPM1 usually carries normal karyotype (NK) but it may harbor chromosomal aberrations whose significance remains unclear. We addressed this question in 631 AML patients with mutated/cytoplasmic NPM1. An abnormal karyotype (AK) was present in 93/631 cases (14.7%), the most frequent abnormalities being +8, +4, -Y, del(9q), +21. Chromosome aberrations in NPM1-mutated AML were similar to, but occurred less frequently than additional chromosome changes found in other AML with recurrent cytogenetic abnormalities according to WHO classification. Four of the 31 NPM1-mutated AML patients karyotyped at different time points had NK at diagnosis but AK at relapse: del(9q) (n=2), t(2;11) (n=1), inv(12) (n=1). NPM1-mutated AML with NK or AK showed overlapping morphological, immunophenotypic (CD34-negativity) and gene expression profile (downregulation of CD34 and upregulation of HOX genes). No difference in survival was observed among NPM1-mutated AML patients independently of whether they carried a normal or abnormal karyotype, the NPM1-mutated/FLT3-ITD negative cases showing the better prognosis. Findings in our patients point to chromosomal aberrations as secondary events, reinforce the concept that NPM1 mutation is a founder genetic lesion and indicate that NPM1-mutated AML should be clinically handled as one entity, irrespective of the karyotype.
