| Popis: | Background and Aims The biological characterization of childhood acute myeloid leukemia (c-AML) is an important outcome predictor. In Brazil, very little is known about the frequency of AML subgroups, although c-AML accounts for about 18% of leukemias. We carried out this study to investigate the contribution of type I and II gene mutations in the probability of overall survival (pOS) of c-AML in Brazil. Methods Seven hundred and three de novo pediatric AML cases (2000–2015) were assessed throughout a multicentric network study. Mutations in hotspot regions of FLT3 , NRAS , KRAS , PTPN11 , and c- KIT genes were analyzed as well as fusion genes ( RUNX1 - RUNX1T1 , MLL / KMT2A -r, CBFβ - MYH11 , and PML - RARα ) associated with AML. Patients were treated out of the clinical trial although following the BFM-AML2004 protocol. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) was treated differently. AML with Down syndrome was excluded. Results There were significant differences in gene mutations among age ranges (≤2 years-old; >2–10 years old and ≥11 years old) and the nonrandom association between type I/II mutations. Lower white blood cell count (≤50 × 10 9 /L) was associated with RUNX1 - RUNX1T1 , whereas higher WBC with CBFβ-MYH11 ( p p = 0.03). pOS differences were observed between Brazilian regions. The South-Southeast regions had a better 5-year pOS, whereas the Midwest region presented the poorest pOS (23.7 ± 4.9%). PTPN11 mutations conferred an adverse prognosis as an independent prognostic factor. Conclusions Identification of genetic subgroups contributes to the molecular epidemiology and biology of AML worldwide, reflecting the profile of pediatric AML cases in Brazil. |
