Analysis of clinical significance and prognostic impact of TET2 single nucleotide polymorphism I1762V in patients with acute myeloid leukemia / 中华血液学杂志

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the clinical and prognostic significance of TET2 single nucleotide polymorphism I1762V in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) . Methods: The high-throughput sequencing method was used to sequence 58 hematological tumor-related genes in bone marrow samples from 413 patients with AML. TET2 I1762V and other somatic mutations were annotated and compared with patients' clinical information and prognosis. Results: I1762V was found in 154 patients with AML, which was significantly different from the general population in NyuWa Chinese Population Variant Database (χ(2)=72.4, P<0.001) . I1762V was not related to sex, age, and karyotype of patients with AML (P>0.05) . Patients with I1762V had a significantly higher proportion of NPM1 and KIT gene mutations than others (P<0.001) . NPM1 and KIT mutations were mutually exclusive. The survival analysis results revealed that the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with AML with I1762V were significantly greater than those of wild-type patients (HR=0.57, P=0.030; HR=0.55, P=0.020) , whereas the OS and PFS in patients with AML with DNMT3A mutation (with or without I1762V mutation) were lower than those of wild-type patients (HR=1.79, P=0.030; HR=1.74, P=0.040) . Conclusion: TET2 SNP I1762V has been linked to AML. I1762V is a prognostic factor of patients with AML, which can be used to guide the treatment and evaluate the prognosis of AML.

Strategy Optimization and Clinical Analyze of Multiple Nucleotide Polymorphism Analysis in the Chimerism Detection after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation / 中国实验血液学杂志

AbstractObjective: To investigate the sample selection, result correction and clinical application value of multi nucleotide polymorphism chimerism detection method based on Next-generation sequencing.@*METHODS@#The chimerism samples from November 2018 to June 2020 were collected, and Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was used to analyze the consistency of bone marrow and peripheral blood results detected by MNPseq; according to the different information integrity before transplantation, the calibration model was constructed to analyze the correction value of the micro chimerism results in each model; the clinical results were retrospectively analyzed to verify the reliability and practicability of chimerism results correction and the clinical value of MNPseq method.@*RESULTS@#The results of bone marrow and peripheral blood chimerism detected by MNPseq method were consistent with each other and showed significant correlation (r=0.985, P<0.01). The three groups of calibration models were constructed according to different pre-transplant information. For the no donor and pre-transplant patients information group, the correction value was 1%; while for the group with pre-transplant patients and without donor information, 0.61% of the chimerism rate and 13 heterotopic points were used as the correction value; 0.26% of the chimerism rate and 21.57% of the heterotopic points were used as the correction value for the group with pre-transplantation patients and donor information. After correction, the number of the patients with incomplete chimerism decreased from 276 (74.19%) to 141 (37.91%) (P<0.01). Among 18 (18/141, 12.77%) patients with incomplete chimerism, the results of MNPseq in the patients were 25-39 days earlier than those in STR and flow MRD, and the result showed statistical significance.@*CONCLUSION@#MNPseq method can be used to monitor chimerism with peripheral blood instead of bone marrow samples, and the results can be corrected to detect the changes of graft status in vivo in a more timely manner.
