Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the influence of DTAS gene mutations (DNMT3A, TET2, ASXL1, SRSF2) on survival of newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 163 patients with next-generation sequencing(NGS)data in the hematology Department of Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 1, 2018 to October 31, 2021 was performed. Clinical data of patients were collected and analyzed including patient′s height, weight, gender, age, bone marrowblast ratio, induction chemotherapy regimen, transplantation or not, complete blood count, etc. There were 88 males and 75 females with a median age of 48 (4-81) years. According to the next-generation sequencing data, patients with any mutation of the above four genes were divided into the DTAS gene mutation group, and vice versa, they were divides into non-DTAS gene mutation group.The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional risk model were used to analyze survival and prognosis.Results:Among 163 patients, DTAS gene mutation was detected in 50 patients (30.7%), and not in 113patients(69.3%). Among the 50 patients with DTAS genemutations, 8 cases(16%) had≥2 mutations and 42 cases(84%) had any gene mutation in DTAS. In the DTAS gene mutation group, the patients were older, the stratification of the European leukemia network(ELN) was poor, the duration of remission was shorter, the proportion of sever myelosuppression degree was higher (61.8% vs 34.8%) at day28 after induction chemotherapy, and the lymphocyte-monocyte ratio was lower than that of the healthy control group when CR was reached after treatment.The results of K-M survival analysis showed that the overall survival(OS)time ( P=0.003) and event-free survival(EFS) ( P=0.008) time of the DTAS gene mutant were significantly shorter than those of the non-DTAS gene mutated group.The medianOS timein theh DTAS gene mutations was significantly shorter than that in the non-DTAS gene mutated group ( P=0.003, HR=2.041) [21(95% CI 16.63-25.37) months vs 43 (95% CI 33.01-52.99) months].The results of multivariate COX analysis revealed that DTAS gene mutations was an independent risk facror forOS time(HR=2.041, 95% CI: 1.285-3.244, P=0.003) in AML patients. Conclusion:DTAS gene mutation does not affect the hematopoietic recovery time after induction chemotherapy, but the duration of remission is shorter in the DTAS gene mutations group. DTAS gene mutations indicate a poor prognosis, which is an independent risk factor for OS.
