Among patients with CN-AML, the ELN favorable-risk category comprises patients with double-mutated CEBPA and patients with mutated NPM1 without FLT3-ITD or with FLT3-ITDlow. The ELN intermediate-risk category includes patients with wild-type or single-mutated CEBPA, patients with wild-type NPM1 without FLT3-ITD or with FLT3-ITDlow, and/or patients with mutated NPM1 and FLT3-ITDhigh. The ELN adverse-risk category comprises patients with wild-type or single-mutated CEBPA and wild-type NPM1 with FLT3-ITDhigh, patients with mutated RUNX1 and/or ASXL1 (if these mutations do not co-occur with favorable-risk subtypes), and/or patients with mutated TP53. FLT3-ITDlow is defined by an FLT3-ITD/FLT3 wild-type allelic ratio of <0.5, and FLT3-ITDhigh is defined by an FLT3-ITD/FLT3 wild-type allelic ratio of ≥0.5.

The median expression value was used as a cut point.
