Subgroup Analysis Can Optimize the Relapse-Prediction Cutoff Value for WT1 Expression After 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 have been inconsistent. Precise cutoff values may be optimized through subtype analysis; the RUNX1-RUNX1T1 fusion transcript provides an ideal reference. RUNX1-RUNX1T1 and WT1 transcript levels were simultaneously measured in 1299 bone marrow samples serially collected from 176 t(8;21) AML patients after allo-HSCT.
