伴NPM1基因突变的成年人急性髓系白血病临床研究

目的 探讨我国成年伴NPM1基因突变的急性髓系白血病患者(NPMc+AML)的临床特点,初步探讨定期定性检测该突变在早期判断AML复发中的意义.方法 采用聚合酶链反应(PCR)-毛细管电泳法对95例成年初治AML患者检测NPM1突变情况,并选取其中5例完全缓解患者定期检测该突变.结果 95例成年AML患者NPM1突变发生率为29.5%(28/95);≥40岁患者突变发生率[40.0%(22/55)]明显高于＜40岁患者[15.0%(6/40)](λ 2=6.963,P=0.012);正常核型AML患者突变发生率[51.1%(24/47)]明显高于异常核型患者[8.3%(4/48)](λ2=20.860,P=0.000).AML患者发生NPM1突变以M5[72.7%(16/22)]、M2[36.3%(8/22)]常见,在具有重现性染色体异常的AML中,未发现该突变.NPMc+AML患者白细胞、血小板计数及乳酸脱氢酶水平均明显高于NPMc-AML组(t值分别为4.132、4.603、4.069,均P＜0.05).NPMc+AML患者完全缓解率、无复发生存率及总生存率均明显高于NPMc-AML患者(λ2值分别为10.448、4.146、4.384,均P＜0.05).定期检测的患者血液学复发前1.5～2.0个月草新出现NPM1基因突变.结论 NPM1基因突变在成年AML患者中,尤其是正常核型AML患者中有较高的发生率,临床表现为患者年龄偏大,白细胞计数、血小板计数、乳酸脱氢酶均较高,NPM1基因突变是成年AML患者预后良好的指标.定期定性监测该突变可早期判断AML复发.

Clinical study of adult acute myeloid leukemia with nucleophosmin cytoplastic positive

Objective To evaluate the clinical feature of adult acute myeloid leukemia with nucleophosmin (NPM1) cytoplastic positive (NPMc+AML), and to investigate the significance of the NPM1 gene mutations regularly in detecting the early relapse. Methods The NPM1 gene mutations was screened by the PCR-capillary electrophoresis in 95 newly diagnosed adult AML patients. 5 complete remission AML patients were selected to detecte the NPM1 gene mutations regularly. Results In 95 cases of adult AML patients, the incidence of the NPM1 mutations was 9.5 % (28/95). The incidence of the NPM1 mutations in patients (≥40-year-old) was higher clearly than it' s in pazients (40-year-old) (λ 2= 6.963, P = 0.012). That in the AML patients with normal karyotype (51.1%) was higher than that in the patients with abnormal karyotype (8.3 %) (λ2= 20.860, P= 0.0000). NPM1 mutations occured with a considerate percentage in AML patients with M5/M2 subtype. In AML with recurrent genetic abnormalities the NPM1 mutations wasn' t found.The white blood cell count, platelet count, lactate dehydrogenase in the NPMc+AML patients were clearly higher than that in the NPMc-AML patients (t were individually 4.132, 4.603, 4.069, P ＜0.05). The rate of complete remission, relapse-free survival and overall survival in the NPMc+AML patients were also higher than that in the N PMc-AML patients (λ 2 were individually 10.448, 4.146, 4.384, P ＜0.05). In cases detected regularly NPM1 mutations preceded the hematological relapse about 1.5-2 months. Conclusion NPM1 gene mutations has a higher incidence in adult AML, particularly in normal karyotype AML. The clinical manifestations are older, and higher in white blood cell count, platelet count, and lactate dehydrogenase. The NPM1 mutations in adult AML is a good factor for prognosis. The regular detection of NPM1 mutation could find relapse early.
