Overview

NCI Definition: An acute myeloid leukemia with at least 20% blasts in the bone marrow or blood, and either a previous history of myelodysplastic syndrome, multilineage dysplasia or myelodysplastic syndrome-related cytogenetic abnormalities. There is no history of prior cytotoxic therapy for an unrelated disorder, and there is absence of the cytogenetic abnormalities that are present in acute myeloid leukemia with recurrent genetic abnormalities. [1]

Acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changess most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, RUNX1, ASXL1, SRSF2, and TET2 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Acute Myeloid Leukemia with Myelodysplasia-Related Changes

TP53 Mutation, TP53 Missense, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, SRSF2 Mutation, and SRSF2 Exon 1 Mutation are the most common alterations in acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes [2].
