Age-Related Prognostic Impact of Different Types of <i>DNMT3A</i> Mutations in Adults With Primary Cytogenetically Normal Acute Myeloid Leukemia

DNMT3A mutations are frequent in CN-AML, and their clinical significance seems to be age dependent. DNMT3A-R882 mutations are associated with adverse prognosis in older patients, and non-R882-DNMT3A mutations are associated with adverse prognosis in younger patients. Low accuracy of gene- and microRNA-expression signatures in predicting DNMT3A mutation status suggested that the role of these mutations in AML remains to be elucidated.
