Subgroup Analysis Can Optimize the Relapse Prediction Cutoff Value for WT1 Expression Following Allogeneic Hematologic Stem Cell Transplantation in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
High WT1 expression after allogeneic hematologic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) can strongly predict relapse in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the cutoff values obtained were inconsistent. The precise cutoff values may be optimized through subtype analysis, and the RUNX1-RUNX1T1 fusion transcript provides an ideal reference. RUNX1-RUNX1T1 and WT1 transcript levels were simultaneously measured in 1,299 bone marrow samples serially collected from 176 t(8;21) AML patients after receiving allo-HSCTfor.
