Overview

NCI Definition: Acute myeloid leukemias that do not fulfill the criteria for inclusion in the group of acute myeloid leukemias which have recurrent genetic abnormalities or myelodysplastic changes, or are therapy-related. This category includes entities classified according to the French-American-British classification scheme. [1]

Acute myeloid leukemia not otherwise specifieds most frequently harbor alterations in DNMT3A, RUNX1, TET2, ASXL1, and SRSF2 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Not Otherwise Specified

DNMT3A Mutation, SRSF2 Mutation, SRSF2 Exon 1 Mutation, RUNX1 Mutation, and IDH2 Mutation are the most common alterations in acute myeloid leukemia not otherwise specified [2].
