Acquired Genomic Copy Number Aberrations and Survival in Adult Acute Myelogenous Leukemia

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Genomic aberrations are of dominant importance to the biology and clinical outcome of patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), and conventional karyotyping-based risk classifications are routinely used in clinical decision making in AML. One of the known limitations of karyotyping is the low sensitivity of this method to detect genomic abnormalities in the sub-megabase (Mb) to ~5 Mb range, and it is currently unclear whether overcoming this limitation with array-based high-resolution karyotyping could be clinically relevant. Furthermore, given the heterogeneity of molecular mechanisms/aberrations that underlie the risks inherent in conventional karyotyping-based risk classifications, it is likely that further refinements in genomic risk prognostication can be achieved. Here, we have analyzed FACS-sorted AML blast-derived and paired buccal DNA from 114 previously untreated prospectively enrolled AML patients for acquired genomic copy number changes and LOH using Affymetrix SNP 6.0 arrays, and we have correlated genomic lesion load and specific chromosomal abnormalities with patient survival. Conclusions: Using multivariate analyses, we found that having ≥2 genomic lesions detected through SNP 6.0 array profiling approximately doubles the risk of death when controlling for age and karyotype-based risk. Finally, we identified an independent negative prognostic impact of p53 mutations, 17p-LOH or both on survival in AML.

Project description:The frequent occurrence of persistent or relapsed disease following induction chemotherapy in AML necessitates a better understanding of the clonal relationship of AML in various disease phases. In this study, we employed SNP 6.0 array-based genomic profiling of acquired copy number aberrations (aCNA) and copy neutral LOH (cnLOH) together with sequence analysis of recurrently mutated genes to characterize paired AML genomes. We analyzed 28 AML sample pairs from patients that achieved complete remission with chemotherapy and subsequently relapsed and 11 sample pairs from patients with persistent disease following induction chemotherapy. Through review of aCNA/cnLOH and gene mutation profiles in informative cases we demonstrate that relapsed AML invariably represents reemergence or evolution of a founder clone. Furthermore, all individual aCNA or cnLOH detected at presentation persisted at relapse indicating that this lesion type is proximally involved in AML evolution. Analysis of informative paired persistent AML disease samples uncovered cases with two coexisting dominant clones of which at least one was chemotherapy sensitive and one resistant, respectively. These data support the conclusion that incomplete eradication of AML founder clones rather than stochastic emergence of fully unrelated novel clones underlies AML relapse and persistence with direct implications for clinical AML research This study is based on 39 patients with AML for which either paired enrollment or relapse samples or persistent disease samples were available. The patients were enrolled into this study at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. The study was approved by the University of Michigan Institutional Review Board (IRBMED #2004-1022) and written informed consent was obtained from all patients prior to enrollment. Genomic DNA was extracted from purified AML blasts and paired buccal cells. DNA thus obtained was hybridized to Affymetrix SNP 6.0 arrays. Note: There is no normal sample available for MIAML015.

Project description:Recurrent gene mutations, chromosomal translocations, acquired genomic copy number aberrations (aCNA) and copy-neutral loss-of-heterozygosity (cnLOH) underlie the genomic pathogenesis of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Genomic lesion types from all of these categories have been variously associated with AML patient outcome. However, the patterns of co-occurrence of such lesions are only now beginning to be defined, and we seek to further delineate the relative influence of different types of genomic alterations on clinical outcomes in AML. In this study, we performed SNP 6.0 array-based genomic profiling of aCNA/cnLOH along with sequence analysis of 13 recurrently mutated genes on purified leukemic blast DNA from 156 prospectively enrolled non-FAB-M3 AML patients across the clinical spectrum of de novo, secondary, and therapy-related AML. We identify positive and negative associations of gene mutations, specific aCNA/cnLOH or total aCNA/cnLOH counts with different AML types as well as the associations of specific mutations with overall genomic complexity or genomic stability. Further, we show that NPM1, RUNX1, ASXL1 and TP53 mutations, elevated SNP-A-based genomic complexity, and specific recurrent aCNAs predict response to induction chemotherapy. Finally, results of comprehensive multivariate analyses support a dominant role for TP53 mutations or elevated genomic complexity as predictors of short survival in AML. Integrated genomic profiling of a clinically relevant adult AML population reveals the interplay between gene mutations, recurrent aCNAs, and SNP-A-based genomic complexity and identifies among them the genomic characteristics most associated with types of response to intensive induction therapies and with shortened overall survival. This study is based on 156 patients with previously untreated AML for which paired tumor and normal samples were available. The patients were enrolled into this study at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. The study was approved by the University of Michigan Institutional Review Board (IRBMED #2004-1022) and written informed consent was obtained from all patients prior to enrollment. Genomic DNA was extracted from purified AML blasts and paired buccal cells. DNA thus obtained was hybridized to Affymetrix SNP 6.0 arrays.
