Integrated Genetic Analysis performed 111 gene NGS on pre-treatment samples from 1540 patients on 3 successive German intensive therapy trials identified 5234 driver mutations across 76 genes or genomic regions, with 2 or more identified in 86% of patients were able to divide the cohort into 11 genetically defined classes, each with distinct clinical features and clinical outcomes Papaemmanuil, E. et al. N Engl J Med 2016;374:2209-21

the prognostic effects of individual mutations were often altered significantly by the presence or absence of other driver mutations such gene-gene interactions, are especially pronounced in NPM1 mutated AML Papaemmanuil, E. et al. N Engl J Med 2016;374:2209-21

346 NPM1 mutated patients in UK NCRI (MRC) 17 trial All patients also underwent comprehensive molecular profiling at diagnosis with 51 gene NGS panel NPM1 RT-qPCR was performed at counts recovery after each cycle of treatment, and then q3 months until 24 months after consolidation therapy Ivey, A. et al. N Engl J Med 2016; 374:422-433
* *after 2 cycles chemo Ivey, A. et al. N Engl J Med 2016; 374:422-433
MRD is more predictive than is molecular profile? Outcomes also not related to allosct Ivey, A. et al. N Engl J Med 2016; 374:422-433
SOC in UK and Germany Molecular RT-qPCR MRD in CBF, APL, Ph+ NPM1 RT-qPCR in NPM1 mutated cases MFC-MRD in the remaining cases Flow cytometry and molecular approaches are complementary in MRD analysis
