FMS-like Tyrosine Kinase 3 (FLT3) and Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) in Iranian Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Patients with Normal Karyotype; Mutation Status and Clinical and Laboratory Characteristics

Abstract: Objective:In this study, we evaluated the frequency of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3-ITD and FLT3-TKD) and nucleophosmin (NPM1) mutations in Iranian patients with cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia (CN-AML). The clinical and laboratory characteristics were compared between wild-type and mutant cases.Materials and Methods:Seventy newly diagnosed de novo AML patients were recruited at the time of diagnosis prior to chemotherapy; among them, 54 had CN-AML. For detecting mutations, the FLT3 and NPM1 … Show more

“…These findings are in concordance with two studies in Iran and Middle East but different from other studies from other countries including Japan, China, and Europe. 21 , 27–31 For platelet level, the cohort in this study had higher median level than the study by Ni et al but similar with the study by Scholl et al 23 , 26 Based on higher hemoglobin level and lower leukocyte level, the cohort in his study may have better prognosis when compared with other AML studies.…”

“…Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most familiar hematologic malignancy, characterized by uncontrolled construction of hematopoietic stem cells follow-on in abnormal accumulation of myeloblasts. Generally, based on the cytogenetic abnormalities, the prognosis of AML patients is grouped into three risk groups: good, intermediate, and poor (Rezaei et al, 2017).…”

“…Rezaei et al showed that there were no significant differences in mean white blood cell counts between cytogenetically normal AML patients with wild-type and mutant FLT3–ITD and NPM1 genes. [ 10 ] But, we did not determine cytogenetics as an exclusion or inclusion criteria in our study. Furthermore, our study was a retrospective study.…”
