“…Mutations of the DNA methyltransferase 3A gene (DNMT3A) are considered a negative prognostic factor by most study groups (Ley et al, 2010;Shen et al, 2011;Thol et al, 2011;Yan et al, 2011;Hou et al, 2012;Marcucci et al, 2012;Markova et al, 2012;Renneville et al, 2012;Ribeiro et al, 2012). However, the largest study did not find a prognostic impact (Nomdedeu et al, 2012;Gaidzik et al, 2013). Within CN-AML patients, Gaidzik et al (2013) found a negative prognostic impact in patients with unfavourable molecular risk (CEBPA wt combined with NPM1 wt and/or FLT3-ITD), while Renneville et al (2012) found a negative prognostic effect in patients with favourable molecular risk (CEBPA mutated or NPM1 mutated plus FLT3 no ITD).…”
