DNA extraction, amplification with sequencing analysis using the 310 ABI genetic analyzer for detection of a mutation (R882H) in 64 patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) at diagnosis. DNMT3A is frequently mutated among T-ALL patients and has been associated with a poor prognosis. These findings could help in risk stratification and treatment choice for patients with T-ALL. Background: The present study aimed to determine the frequencies and clinicopathologic effect of a DNMT3A [DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 3A] mutation in patients with adult T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Patients and Methods: A total of 64 patients with T-ALL who had been admitted to Mansoura University Oncology Center were included in the present study. For all patients, DNA extraction and amplification with sequencing analysis using the 310 ABI genetic analyzer for detection of a mutation (R882H). Results: The DNMT3A mutation (R882H) was found in 12 of the 64 patients (18.8%). The DNMT3A mutation was frequently detected in the older age group and was associated with high leukocytic counts, a high bone marrow blast cell percentage, and the frequent presence of extramedullary disease. However, it was not associated with the hemoglobin level, red blood cell count, or platelet count. The patients with mutant T-ALL had a low tendency to achieve remission after induction. These patients had significantly shorter overall survival and shorter disease-free survival compared with those with wild-type T-ALL (P=.037 and P=.006, respectively). Conclusion: DNMT3A is frequently mutated in T-ALL and is associated with distinct clinicopathologic entities and a poor prognosis. These findings could help in risk stratification and treatment decisions for patients with T-ALL. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
