An exploratory analysis of mitochondrial haplotypes and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation outcomes.

ABSTRACT: Certain mitochondrial haplotypes (mthaps) are associated with disease, possibly through differences in oxidative phosphorylation and/or immunosurveillance. We explored whether mthaps are associated with allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) outcomes. Recipient (n = 437) and donor (n = 327) DNA were genotyped for common European mthaps (H, J, U, T, Z, K, V, X, I, W, and K2). HCT outcomes for mthap matched siblings (n = 198), all recipients, and all donors were modeled using relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals and compared with mthap H, the most common mitochondrial haplotypes. Siblings with I and V were significantly more likely to die within 5 years (RR = 3.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2 to 7.9; and RR = 4.6; 95% CI, 1.8 to 12.3, respectively). W siblings experienced higher acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) grades II to IV events (RR = 2.1; 95% CI, 1.1 to 2.4) with no events for those with K or K2. Similar results were observed for all recipients combined, although J recipients experienced lower GVHD and higher relapse. Patients with I donors had a 2.7-fold (1.2 to 6.2) increased risk of death in 5 years, whereas few patients with K2 or W donors died. No patients with K2 donors and few patients with U donors relapsed. Mthap may be an important consideration in HCT outcomes, although validation and functional studies are needed. If confirmed, it may be feasible to select donors based on mthap to increase positive or decrease negative outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundHigh intensity treatments such as hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) can be curative for patients with hematologic malignancies, but this needs to be balanced by the high risk of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) during the first 2 years after HCT. Sarcopenia (low muscle mass) is associated with physical disability and premature mortality in individuals with nonmalignant diseases and may be a predictor of NRM and poor overall survival in patients undergoing HCT.MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of 859 patients with acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome who underwent a first HCT as adults (≥18 years) between 2007 and 2014. Sarcopenia was assessed from pre-HCT abdominal computed tomography scans. Two-year cumulative incidence of NRM was calculated, with relapse/progression considered as a competing risk event. Fine-Gray subdistribution hazard ratio estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were obtained and adjusted for relevant covariates. Kaplan-Meier method was used to examine overall survival. All statistical tests were two-sided.ResultsMedian age at HCT was 51 years (range = 18-74 years); 52.5% had a high [≥3] HCT-comorbidity index; 33.7% had sarcopenia pre-HCT. Sarcopenia was an independent predictor of higher NRM risk (hazard ratio = 1.58, 95% CI = 1.16 to 2.16) compared with patients who were not. The 2-year incidence of NRM approached 30% in patients with sarcopenia and high (≥3) HCT-comorbidity index. Patients with sarcopenia had on average a longer hospitalization (37.2 days vs 31.5 days, P < .001) and inferior overall survival at 2 years (55.2%, 95% CI = 49.5% to 61.0% vs 66.9%, 95% CI = 63.0% to 70.8%, P < .001).ConclusionsSarcopenia is an important and independent predictor of survival after HCT, with potential additional downstream impacts on health-economic outcomes. This information can be used to facilitate treatment decisions prior to HCT and guide interventions to decrease the risk of treatment-related complications after HCT.
