Population Studies in AML Is there evidence of recurrent molecular subgroups? Clinical associations? Therapeutic opportunities?
Mapping the AML Genome Extend molecular classification in AML by considering gene mutations Data Sequenced 1,540 patients with AML Demographic, cytogenetic, morphology and treatment Examined 111 genes -> 5,234 driver mutations Durable Unsupervised de-novo classification of AML Consideration of extended molecular structure to include patterns of co-mutation and mutual exclusivity Reproducible Validated in TCGA AML database and AML MRC trial (n=2,923, unpublished data ) Clinically Relevant Combined genomic-based categories and overall survival data to evaluate risk for the new subcategories Papaemmanuil E, et al.
