Patent ID: 11111542

Abstract:
There is described herein a method of prognosing or classifying a subject with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) comprising: (a) determining the expression level of at least 3 genes in a test sample from the subject selected from the group consisting of DNMT3B, ZBTB46, NYNRIN, ARHGAP22, LAPTM4B, MMRN1, DPYSL3, KIAAQ125. CDK6, CPXM1, SOCS2, SMIM24, EMP1, NGFRAP1, CD34, AKR1C3, GPR56; and (b) comparing expression of the at least 3 genes in the test sample with reference expression levels of the at least 3 genes from control samples from a cohort of patients; wherein a difference or similarity in the expression of the at least 3 genes in the test sample and the reference expression levels is used to prognose or classify the subject with AML into a low risk group or a high risk group for worse survival.
