Significant P values are marked in bold.
BM, bone marrow; CEPBA, CCAAT/enhancer binding protein α; CNS, central nervous system; FAB, French-American-British classification; FLT3-ITD, internal tandem duplication of the FLT3 gene; HSCT, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; NPM1, nucleophosmin-1; PB, peripheral blood.
Mann-Whitney test.
χ2 test.
Patients may be counted more than once in cases with 2 or more coexisting cytogenetic abnormalities.
Fisher’s exact test.
Risk groups were defined as described19 as favorable [t(8;21), inv(16)/t(16;16), NPM1 or CEBPA mutations in the absence of FLT3-ITD], adverse [-5/del(5q), -7, or high FLT3-ITD allelic ratio], and intermediate (all other patients with available genetic data).
