Mutational spectrum of de novo NPM1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia patients older than 75 years
AML with mutated NPM1 occurs in all age groups. Yet, the mutational pattern is not extensively studied in the very old, which may hamper appropriate risk assessment. Herein we examined 22 cases of NPM1-mutated de novo AML in patients older than 75, with a median age of 84. All diagnostic samples were sequenced aiming for coverage of the most relevant AML-associated mutations. For comparison with y
