AML with gain of chromosome 8 as the sole chromosomal abnormality (+8sole) is associated with a specific molecular mutation pattern including ASXL1 mutations in 46.8% of the patients.

Abstract excerpt

Trisomy 8 is the most frequent cytogenetically gained aberration in AML. We compared 79 adult de novo AML with trisomy 8 as the sole cytogenetic abnormality (+8sole) to 511 normal karyotype AML patients (NK). +8sole patients were older (p=0.013), presented lower WBC counts (p=0.010), harbored more often ASXL1 mutations (p<0.001) and RUNX1 mutations (p=0.009), but less frequent FLT3-ITD (p=0.038), NPM1 mutations...
