Research Abstract |
The aim in this study is to establish a prognostic scoring system based on the genetic abnormalities in adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Recently, comprehensive gene analysis in pediatric ALL brought new genetic abnormalities such as IKZF1 and CREBBP. In this study, alterations in the IKZF1 gene were frequently detected in adult ALL (53%) compared to that of pediatric ALL. Although no mutation in the epigenetic modifiers such as UTX, SUZ12, RPD3 or EZH2 was found, mutations in the EED and CREBBP were detected in adult ALL. 5-year relapse-free survival in patients without mutation, with one mutation and with two or more mutations in the IKZF1, EED, CREBBP or TP53 genes was 47%, 22% and 0%, respectively, indicating that these gene mutations confer a poor clinical outcome in adult Philadelphia chromosome-negative ALL.
