Integration of gene mutations in risk prognostication for patients receiving first-line immunochemotherapy for follicular lymphoma

ABSTRACT: Background: Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease. The prognostic value of somatic mutations has not been systematically evaluated and no genetic factors have been identified that distinguish patients at highest risk of treatment failure. Methods: We performed deep sequencing of 74 genes in 151 patients treated with R-CHOP from a phase III trial. Mutations and clinical factors were incorporated into a risk model using multivariable L1-penalized Cox regression. We validated the risk model in an independent cohort of 107 patients treated with R-CVP. Results: The final clinicogenetic index, the “m7-FLIPI”, contained the FL International Prognostic Index (FLIPI), ECOG performance status, and mutation status of 7 genes (EZH2, ARID1A, MEF2B, EP300, FOXO1, CREBBP and CARD11). In the training cohort, the m7-FLIPI defined a high-risk group (28% of patients) with 5-year failure-free survival (FFS) of 38% vs 77% for the low-risk group (Hazard ratio (HR) 4.1, confidence Interval (CI)=[2.5;6.9], p<0.0001). In the validation cohort, the m7-FLIPI defined a high-risk group (22% of patients) with 5-year FFS of 25% versus 68% (HR 3.6, CI=[2.0;6.4], p<0.0001) in the low-risk group. In both cohorts, the m7-FLIPI outperformed the FLIPI alone. Strikingly, all 66 patients with EZH2 mutations in both cohorts were categorized as low-risk m7-FLIPI, and EZH2 mutations defined a distinct transcriptional profile. Conclusions: The combination of clinical factors and mutations in 7 genes can identify the subset of patients with FL at highest risk of treatment failure. The m7-FLIPI can be widely utilized for risk prognostication and patient stratification.

Project description:PURPOSE: To evaluate frequency, biological features and clinical relevance of RUNX1 mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Diagnostic samples from 945 patients (18 to 60 years) were analyzed for RUNX1 mutations. In a subset of cases (n=269) microarray gene expression analysis was performed. RESULTS: Fifty-nine RUNX1 mutations were identified in 53 of 945 (5.6%) cases, predominantly in exons 3 (n=11), 4 (n=10) and 8 (n=23). RUNX1 mutations clustered in the intermediate-risk cytogenetic group (46/640, 7.2%; cytogenetically normal, 34/538, 6.3%), they were less frequent in adverse-risk cytogenetics (5/109, 4.6%), and absent in core-binding-factor AML (0/77) and acute promyelocytic leukemia (0/61); RUNX1 mutations were associated with MLL-partial tandem duplications (p=0.0007) and IDH1/IDH2 mutations (p=0.03), inversely correlated with NPM1 (p<0.0001) and in trend with CEBPA (p=0.10) mutations. RUNX1 mutations were characterized by a distinct gene expression pattern; this RUNX1 mutation-derived signature was not exclusive for the mutation, but also included mostly adverse-risk AML [eg, 7q-, -7, inv(3) or t(3;3)]. RUNX1 mutations predicted for resistance to chemotherapy (rates of refractory disease 30% and 19%, p=0.047, for RUNX1-mutated and wildtype patients, respectively), as well as inferior event-free survival (EFS; p<0.0001), relapse-free survival (RFS, p=0.022), and overall survival (p=0.051). In multivariable analysis, RUNX1 mutations were an independent prognostic marker for shorter EFS (p=0.007). Explorative subgroup analysis revealed that allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation had a favorable impact on RFS in RUNX1-mutated patients (p<0.0001). CONCLUSION: AML with RUNX1 mutations exhibit distinct biological properties and are associated with resistance to therapy and inferior outcome. A total of 269 RNA samples derived from adult AML patients were provided by the German Austrian AML Study Group (AMLSG) [AMLSG trial AML HD98A (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00146120)]. Conventional cytogenetic banding, and FLT3, CEBPA and NPM1 mutational analysis were performed as previously described (Schlenk et al., N Engl J Med 2008). Detailed clinical, cytogenetic and molecular cytogenetic information are also provided in the supplementary information. Following enrichment, all samples contained at least 80% leukemic cells. Gene expression profiling (GEP) was performed as previously described (Bullinger et al., N Engl J Med 2004).
