[HTML][HTML] Prognostic importance of C-KIT mutations in core binding factor acute myeloid leukemia: a systematic review
Hematology/oncology and stem cell therapy, 2017•Elsevier
Objective/background Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is defined as leukemic blast
reproduction in bone marrow. Chromosomal abnormalities form different subgroups with
joint clinical specifications and results. t (8; 21)(q22; q22) and inv (16)(p13; q22) form core
binding factor-AML (CBF-AML). c-kit mutation activation occurs in 12.8–46.1% of adults with
CBF leukemia. These mutations occur in 20–25% of t (8; 21) and 30% of inv (16) cases.

Objective/background
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is defined as leukemic blast reproduction in bone marrow. Chromosomal abnormalities form different subgroups with joint clinical specifications and results. t(8;21)(q22;q22) and inv(16)(p13;q22) form core binding factor-AML (CBF-AML). c-kit mutation activation occurs in 12.8–46.1% of adults with CBF leukemia. These mutations occur in 20–25% of t(8;21) and 30% of inv(16) cases.
Methods
In this systematic review, we searched different databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Embase. Selected articles were measured based on the inclusion criteria of this study and initially compared in terms of titles or abstracts. Finally, articles relevant to the subject of this review were retrieved in full text. Twenty-two articles matched the inclusion criteria and were selected for this review.
Results
In this study, c-kit mutations were associated with poor prognosis in AML patients with t(8;21) and inv(16). In addition, these mutations had better prognostic effects on AML patients with inv(16) compared with those with t(8;21).
Conclusion
According to the results of this study, c-kit mutations have intense, harmful effects on the relapse and white blood cell increase in CBF-AML adults. However, these mutations have no significant prognostic effects on patients.
