Popis: Abstract Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a highly heterogeneous hematological neoplasm, highlighting the need for new molecular markers to improve prognosis prediction and therapeutic strategies. While Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 5 (ARHGEF5) is known to be overexpressed in various cancers, its role in AML is not well understood. This study investigates the correlation between ARHGEF5 expression and AML using data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). ARHGEF5 expression levels in AML patients and normal samples were compared using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. The Kaplan–Meier method and Cox regression analysis (CRA) assessed the association between ARHGEF5 expression and patient survival. A prognostic nomogram was constructed using CRA, incorporating patient age and cytogenetic risk.Our findings indicate significant overexpression of ARHGEF5 in AML compared to normal samples. Elevated ARHGEF5 levels were associated with poor prognosis, particularly in patients ≤ 60 years, those with NPM1 mutations, FLT3 mutation-positive, and wild-type RAS (P
