The main objective of the study was to evaluate the associations between MCM7 rs2070215, rs1527423, and rs1534309 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) risk and prognosis. The secondary objectives were to assess if any relationships existed between the mentioned SNPs and FLT3 , DNMT3A , NPM1 mutations with clinical outcomes and overall survival (OS) in AML patients. We investigated 281 AML cases and 405 healthy subjects. The results showed a significant association between a variant allele of rs2070215 ( p = 0.007), CAT haplotype ( p = 0.012), and AML susceptibility. No significant association was found between MCM7 variant genotypes and overall survival of AML patients ( p > 0.05), while several associations between somatic mutations, clinical and biological features, and poor OS were noticed. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level ≥ 600 IU/L had a significant effect on the hazard of death ( p = 0.004, HR = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.13-1.95). Our study showed that the variant allele of rs2070215, in the allelic model, and CAT haplotype were associated with AML susceptibility. The investigated FLT3 , DNMT3A , and NPM1 mutations were associated with the clinical and biological features and poor OS. LDH level ≥ 600 IU/L was associated with an increased hazard of death and this association remained significant when quantifying for effect modification by FLT3 mutation status. |
