Most patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) enter complete remission
(CR) after treatment with chemotherapy, but a large number of them experience
relapse with resistant disease. To identify genes that are associated with
their prognoses, we analyzed gene expression in 54 pediatric patients with AML
using an oligonucleotide microarray that contained 12 566 probe sets. A
supervised approach using the Student t test selected a prognostic
set of 35 genes, some of which are associated with the regulation of cell
cycle and apoptosis. Most of these genes had not previously been reported to
be associated with prognosis and were not correlated with morphologically
classified French-American-British (FAB) subtypes or with karyotypes. These
results indicate the existence of prognosis-associated genes that are
independent of cell lineage and cytogenetic abnormalities, and they can
provide therapeutic direction for individual risk-adapted therapy for
pediatric AML patients.
