Abstract

Core-binding factor acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML) is a group of diseases with a good prognosis, although some patients in this group have a poor outcome. This pushes researchers to look for other prognostic factors to be able to more accurately assess the patient's condition. Besides gene mutations such as FLT3-ITD, FLT3-TKD, NPM1... C-KIT mutation is also of interest in research. A close relationship between C-KIT mutations and disease prognosis has not been clearly established. However, when analyzing in detail the mutation locations, C-KIT D816V mutation was found to be a potential prognostic factor. Among 98 AML patients, we found 20 CBF-AML patients, of which 2% carried the C-KIT D816V mutation. CBF-AML patients with the C-KIT D816V mutation exhibited more severe anemia, thrombocytopenia and higher white blood cell count, blast rate when compared with other group.
