ABSTRACT: The pretreatment karyotype of leukemic blasts is currently the key determinant in therapy decision-making in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, approximately fifty percent of AML patients, often carrying a normal karyotype, are currently unclassifiable based these established methods. Gene expression profiling has proven to be valuable for risk stratification of AML. This is a repository of 662 adult AML cases characterized on gene expression microarrays and used for different studies investigating the mechanisms underlying leukemogenesis. Bone marrow aspirates or peripheral blood samples of three independent representative cohorts of de novo AML patients, comprising 277, 256 and 129 cases respectively, were collected at diagnosis. Gene expression profiling was performed on 662 adult AML patients who have been treated according to Dutch-Belgian Hemato-Oncology Cooperative Group and the Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research (HOVON/SAKK) AML-04, -04A, -29, -32, -42, -42A, -43 and -92 protocols (available at http://www.hovon.nl). All patients provided written informed consent in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, and the study was approved by all participating institutional review boards. Blast cell purification and RNA isolation were performed as previously described (Valk et al., Prognostically Useful Gene-Expression Profiles in Acute Myeloid Leukemia, New England Journal of Medicine, 2004).
