<i>TP53</i> mutations in newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia: Clinicomolecular characteristics, response to therapy, and outcomes

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mutations in the tumor protein 53 (TP53) gene predict a poor prognosis in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). METHODS: Peripheral blood or bone marrow samples from 293 patients with newly diagnosed AML were analyzed with targeted, amplicon-based, next-generation sequencing-based mutation analysis. RESULTS: TP53 mutations were identified in 53 patients (18%; 45 were missense mutations). In 13...
