Abstract

Complex karyotype acute myeloid leukemia (CK-AML) has been classified as an adverse-risk subtype. Although a few reports have further classified CK-AML as typical (including monosomy of chromosomes 5, 7 and 17 or deletion of 5q, 7q and/or 17p) or atypical, the clinical features of these subtypes in Japanese patients remain unclear. We retrospectively analyzed a total of 115 patients with CK-AML, including 77 with typical CK-AML and 38 with atypical CK-AML. Median overall survival (OS) was significantly shorter in patients with typical CK-AML than atypical CK-AML (143 days vs. 369 days, P = 0.009). Among patients with typical CK-AML, those with monosomy 17 or deletion of 17p had significantly shorter OS than patients without such abnormalities (105 days vs. 165 days, P = 0.033). TP53 mutations were more predominant in patients with typical CK-AML than in patients with atypical CK-AML (69.7% vs. 32.4%, P < 0.001). Patients with typical CK-AML had a poor prognosis regardless of TP53 mutation status. Among patients with atypical CK-AML, however, prognosis was worse for those with the TP53 mutation than those without the mutation. In conclusion, prognosis is extremely poor for both typical CK-AML and atypical CK-AML with TP53 mutation.
