TLDR
NPMc+ AML shows increased frequency in adults and females, wide morphologic spectrum, multilineage involvement, high frequency of FLT3-ITD, CD34 negativity, and a distinct gene-expression profile.

BCL-2 inhibition targets oxidative phosphorylation and selectively eradicates quiescent human leukemia stem cells.

TL;DR: This work evaluated mechanisms controlling oxidative state in primary specimens derived from acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) patients and proposed a model wherein the unique physiology of ROS-low LSCs provides an opportunity for selective targeting via disruption of BCL-2-dependent oxidative phosphorylation.

Functional genomic landscape of acute myeloid leukaemia

Jeffrey W. Tyner, +90 more
- 17 Oct 2018 - 
TL;DR: Analyses of samples from patients with acute myeloid leukaemia reveal that drug response is associated with mutational status and gene expression; the generated dataset provides a basis for future clinical and functional studies of this disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

The impact of FLT3 internal tandem duplication mutant level, number, size, and interaction with NPM1 mutations in a large cohort of young adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia

TL;DR: There was a highly significant trend for worsening in relapse risk (RR) and overall survival (OS) with increasing FLT3/ITD mutant level, and mutant level was the most powerful prognostic factor for RR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distinctive microRNA signature of acute myeloid leukemia bearing cytoplasmic mutated nucleophosmin

TL;DR: A unique miRNA signature is identified that distinguishes NPMc+ mutated from the cytoplasmic-negative (NPM1 unmutated) cases and includes the up-regulation of miR-10a, miR -10b, several let-7 and miR –29 family members and support a role for miRNAs in the regulation of HOX genes in this leukemia subtype.

The Importance of Diagnostic Cytogenetics on Outcome in AML: Analysis of 1,612 Patients Entered Into the MRC AML 10 Trial

TL;DR: Subgroup analysis demonstrated that the three cytogenetically defined prognostic groups retained their predictive value in the context of secondary as well as de novo AML, within the pediatric age group and furthermore were found to be a key determinant of outcome from autologous or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in first CR.

Fusion of a Kinase Gene, ALK, to a Nucleolar Protein Gene, NPM, in Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

TL;DR: In the predicted hybrid protein, the amino terminus of nucleophosmin (NPM) is linked to the catalytic domain of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), and unscheduled expression of the truncated ALK may contribute to malignant transformation in these lymphomas.

Analysis of FLT3-activating mutations in 979 patients with acute myelogenous leukemia: association with FAB subtypes and identification of subgroups with poor prognosis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the prevalence and the potential prognostic impact of FLT3 mutations in 979 acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) patients and found that a high mutant/wt ratio in ITD-positive patients appears to have a major impact on the prognostic relevance.
