Overview

NCI Definition: An acute myeloid leukemia in which at least 50% of the blasts are of megakaryocytic lineage. (WHO, 2001) [1]

Acute megakaryoblastic leukemias most frequently harbor alterations in JAK2, DNMT3A, TP53, TET2, and PRKDC [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Acute Megakaryoblastic Leukemia

JAK2 V617F, JAK2 Mutation, JAK2 Exon 14 Mutation, DNMT3A Mutation, and TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense are the most common alterations in acute megakaryoblastic leukemia [2].
