A propensity score matching (PSM) followed by Kaplan-Meier method was applied to measure their prognostic effects. The CSF3R(mut) loci and types differed according to AML subtypes, with frameshift-indels and premature stop confined in the t(8;21) AML [10/12 (83.3%)], and missense recurrently aggregated in the CEBPAdm AML [16/16 (100%)]. After PSM followed by Kaplan-Meier analysis, CSF3R(mut) cases had comparable disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) to those with CSF3R(wt) in the t(8;21) AML cohort. By contrast, CSF3R(mut) showed an inclination towards inferior DFS compared to CSF3R(wt) in the CEBPAdm AML cohort. CSF3R(mut) were frequently enriched in patients with t(8;21) and CEBPAdm subtypes among AML, but showed divergent clinicopathologic features, mutation loci and types and a differing prognostic aspects. More notably, either a primary induction failure (n = 2) or early relapse (n = 2, DFS = 2.5 and 5.6 months, respectively) was encountered in all of the 4 CEBPAdm cases carrying both WT1 and CSF3R co-mutations. Background: Few data are available exploring mutations of the colony-stimulating factor 3 receptor (CSF3R) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in an all-round and systematic manner. The purpose of this study was to analyze the CSF3R mutations (CSF3R(mut)) in AML with recurrent genetic abnormalities for potential synergistic pathomechanism. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively screened 1102 adult de novo AML patients with available next-generation sequencing (NGS) information on 132 genes related to hematologic disorders. The ??2, Mann-Whitney U tests were used to analyze their associations with clinicopathologic characteristics, and a propensity score matching (PSM) followed by Kaplan Meier method was applied to measure their prognostic effects. Results: Overall, CSF3R(mut) were detected in 40 (3.6%) of 1102 patients with adult de novo AML. CSF3R(mut) were predominantly enriched in AML with the CEBPA double mutations (CEBPAdm) (16/122, 13.1%), t(8;21) (12/186, 6.5%) and mutated RUNX1 (3/50, 6.0%), respectively. The CSF3R(mut) loci and types differed according to AML subtypes, with frameshift-indels and premature stop confined in the t(8;21) AML [10/12 (83.3%)], and missense recurrently aggregated in the CEBPAdm AML [16/16 (100%)]. Cases with CSF3R(mut) had a lower WBC count versus those with CSF3R wild-type (CSF3R(wt)) in the t(8;21) AML cohort, with a borderline significance [median 5.45 (range 0.94-20.30) x 10(9) /L) vs. 8.80 (range 0.96-155.00) x 10(9) /L, P = .046]. CSF3R(mut) were non-significantly associated with higher WBC counts [median 33.6 (range 6.8-287.6) x 10(9) /L vs. 18.1 (range 1.7196.0) x 10(9) /L, P = .156] and significantly with lower immunophenotypic CD15 positivity [0/8 (0%) vs. 44/80 (55%), P = .009] as compared to CSF3R(wt) in the CEBPAdm AML cohort. After propensity score matching followed by Kaplan-Meier analysis, CSF3R(mut) cases had comparable disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) to those with CSF3R wt (P =.607 and P =.842, respectively) in the t(8;21) AML cohort. By contrast, CSF3R(mut) showed an inclination towards inferior DFS compared to CSF3R(wt) in the CEBPA(dm) AML cohort [median DFS 19.8 (95%CI 3.1-36.5) months vs. not reached (NR), P =.086]. No significant difference was found for OS between CSF3R(mut) and CSF3R(wt) cases (P =.943). Conclusion: We concluded that CSF3R(mut) were frequently enriched in patients with t(8;21) and CEBPA dm subtypes among AML, but showed divergent clinicopathologic features, mutation loci and types and differing prognostic aspects.
