Abstract:
Acute myeloid leukaemia with NUP98 rearrangement (AML-NUP98) has been previously described in paediatric patients, and the clinical significance in adult AML patients remains largely unexplored. In this study, we identified specific partner fusion genes and examined somatic co-mutations and clonal evolution longitudinally in adult AML-NUP98 patients. Our comprehensive analysis provides an understanding of NUP98 rearrangement and co-mutations influencing clonal evolution and disease progression and offers valuable insights into potential therapeutic strategies. Further multiple centre studies are needed to investigate this entity in adult patients and improve treatment strategy.
