Outline of Final Research Achievements

From gene expression profiling data of 130 Japanese pediatric AML patients registered in AML99 study, we found that EVI1 and MEL1 were overexpressed in approximately 30% of patients, and that their high expression was significantly associated with inferior survival. Because of their mutually exclusive expression, a combined evaluation of their high expression enabled a clear distinction of patients with inferior survival (P<0.00001 in EFS and OS). This association was confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR analysis of 81 patients registered in AML-05 study (P=0.00017 in EFS, P=0.00028 in OS). We believe that the combined estimation of EVI1 and MEL1 expression will be an effective method for risk stratification of pediatric AML patients.
