Clinical features and survival analysis in acute myeloid leukemia patients with SRSF2 gene mutation
Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and the efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)in acute myeloid leukemia(AML)patients with SRSF2 gene mutation.Methods:From June 2016 to December 2022,the clinical data of patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University with SRSF2 mutations detected by next-generation sequencing were retrospectively ana-lyzed.Results:57 patients with AML were included in the study,comprising 42 males(73.7%)and 15 females(26.3%),with a median age of 60(17-83)years.Among the 57 patients with SRSF2 mutations,18 cases(31.6%)had SRSF2 P95H mutations,15 cases(26.3%)had SRSF2 P95L mutations,and 8 cases(14.0%)had SRSF2 P95R mutations.SRSF2 P95H mutations are associated with older age,increased white blood cell count,and higher VAF values.Co-mutation gene analysis showed that the most common concomitant gene muta-tion in SRSF2-mutated AML patients was the RUNX1 mutation(33.0%).Survival analysis showed that the 2-year overall survival(OS)and 2-year disease-free survival(DFS)of 57 cases SRSF2-mutated AML patients were 29.6%and 24.7%,respectively.The 2-year OS and DFS were 46.9%and 41.0%in the allo-HSCT group and 20.4%and 11.7%in the chemotherapy group,respectively.The two groups had significant differences in OS(P=0.012 4)and DFS(P=0.013 3).The results of multivariate analysis showed that age was an independent risk factor for OS(HR=2.385,95%CI 1.074-5.298,P=0.033)and DFS(HR=3.378,95%CI 1.223-9.334,P=0.019)in SRSF2-mutated AML patients.Conclusion:Allo-HSCT can improve the prognosis of AML patients with SRSF2 gene mutation.In addition,age can be an independent risk factor for OS and DFS in AML patients with SRSF2 mutations.
