Purpose To analyze the frequency and associations with prognostic markers outcome of mutations in IDH genes encoding isocitrate dehydrogenases adult de novo cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia (CN-AML). Patients Methods Diagnostic bone marrow or blood samples from 358 patients were analyzed for IDH1 IDH2 by DNA polymerase chain reaction amplification/sequencing. FLT3, NPM1, CEBPA, WT1, MLL mutational analyses gene- microRNA-expression profiling performed centrally. Results found...

A phase II clinical trial with single-agent decitabine was conducted in older patients (≥60 years) previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who were not candidates for or refused intensive chemotherapy. Subjects received low-dose at 20 mg/m 2 i.v. over 1 h on days to 10. Fifty-three subjects enrolled a median age of 74 years (range, 60–85). Nineteen (36%) had antecedent hematologic disorder therapy-related AML; 16 complex karyotypes (≥3 abnormalities). The complete remission rate...

To evaluate the prognostic significance of international European LeukemiaNet (ELN) guidelines for reporting genetic alterations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).We analyzed 1,550 adults with primary AML, treated on Cancer and Leukemia Group B first-line trials, who had pretreatment cytogenetics and, cytogenetically normal patients, mutational status NPM1, CEBPA, FLT3 available. We compared complete remission (CR) rates, disease-free survival (DFS), overall (OS) among patients classified into...

Purpose To determine the frequency of TET2 mutations, their associations with clinical and molecular characteristics outcome, associated gene- microRNA-expression signatures in patients primary cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia (CN-AML). Patients Methods Four-hundred twenty-seven CN-AML were analyzed for mutations by polymerase chain reaction direct sequencing established prognostic gene mutations. Gene- profiles derived using microarrays. Results found 23% patients, older age (P...

Purpose To determine the association of RUNX1 mutations with therapeutic outcome in younger and older patients primary cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia (CN-AML) gene/microRNA expression signatures. Patients Methods Younger (&lt; 60 years; n = 175) (≥ 225) CN-AML treated intensive cytarabine/anthracycline-based first-line therapy on Cancer Leukemia Group B protocols were centrally analyzed for by polymerase chain reaction direct sequencing established prognostic gene mutations....

Purpose To determine the frequency of DNMT3A mutations, their associations with clinical and molecular characteristics outcome, associated gene- microRNA-expression signatures in primary cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia (CN-AML). Patients Methods Four hundred fifteen previously untreated adults were analyzed for mutations established prognostic gene expression markers. Gene- profiles derived using microarrays. Results Younger (&lt; 60 years; n = 181) older (≥ 234) patients had...

Molecular risk stratification of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is largely based on genetic markers. However, epigenetic changes, including DNA methylation, deregulate gene expression and may also have prognostic impact. We evaluated the clinical relevance integrating methylation information in AML.Next-generation sequencing analysis methylated identified differentially regions (DMRs) associated with mutations older (≥ 60 years) cytogenetically normal (CN) patients AML (n = 134). Genes...

Abstract Oncogenic Ras mutations occur in various leukemias. It was unclear if, besides the direct transforming effect via constant RAS/MEK/ERK signaling, an inflammation-related of KRAS contributes to disease. Here, we identify a functional link between oncogenic Kras G12D and NLRP3 inflammasome activation murine human cells. Mice expressing active hematopoietic system developed myeloproliferation cytopenia, which is reversed mice lacking system. Therapeutic IL-1-receptor blockade or...

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a devastating disease. Circulating tumor cells (CTC) in the blood are hypothesized as means of systemic spread. Blood obtained from healthy donors and patients with PDAC was therefore subject to size-based CTC-isolation. We additionally compared Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) mutations pancreatic CTC corresponding tumors, evaluated their significance prognostic markers. Samples 68 individuals (58 patients, 10 donors) were...

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has demonstrated great potential as a noninvasive biomarker to assess minimal residual disease (MRD) and profile genotypes in patients with non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, little is known about its dynamics during after resection, or for predicting clinical outcomes. Here, we applied targeted‐capture high‐throughput sequencing approach ctDNA at various milestones assessed predictive value early‐stage locally advanced NSCLC. We prospectively enrolled...
