چکیده

Cytogenetic data were studied in 26 patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with minimal myeloid differentiation, corresponding to the M0 subtype of the French-American-British classification, in correlation with cytoimmunologic and clinical findings. Clonal abnormalities were detected in 21 cases (80.7%), 12 of which had a complex karyotype. Partial or total monosomy 5q and/or 7q was found, either as the sole aberration or in all abnormal metaphases, in 11 patients; in 8 cases, additional chromosome changes were present, including rearrangements involving 12p12-13 and 2p12-15 seen in 3 cases each. Five patients had trisomy 13 as a possible primary chromosome change; in 5 cases, nonrecurrent chromsome abnormalities were observed. Comparison of these findings with chromosome data from 42 patients with AML-M1 shows that abnormal karyotypes, complex karyotypes, unbalanced chromosome changes (-5/5q- and/or -7/7q- and +13) were observed much more frequently in AML-M0 than in AML-M1. Patients with abnormalities of chromosome 5 and/or 7 frequently showed trilineage myelodysplasia and low white blood cell count. Despite their relatively young age, complete remission was achieved in 4 of 11 patients only. Patients with +13 were elderly males with frequent professional exposure to myelotoxic agents. Unlike patients with clonal abnormalities, most AML-M0 patients with normal karyotype showed 1% to 2% peroxidase-positive blast cells at light microscopy and frequently achieved CR. It is concluded that (1) AML-M0 shows a distinct cytogenetic profile, partially recalling that of therapy-related AML, (2) different cytogenetic groups of AML-M0 can be identified showing characteristic clinicobiologic features, and (3) chromosome rearrangements may partially account for the unfavorable outcome frequently observed in these patients.

Minimally differentiated acute myeloid leukemia (AML-M0): comparison of 25 cases with other French-American-British subtypes.

We compared the immunophenotypic and karyotypic features of 25 cases of minimally differentiated acute myeloid leukemia (AML-M0) with those of 247 cases comprising all AML French-American-British (FAB) classification. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) was detectable with a specific monoclonal antibody in all cases of AML-M0, whereas CD13 and CD33 were both negative in 4 of the 25 cases. Thus, anti-MPO reli...

Minimally differentiated acute myeloid leukemia (FAB AML-M0) is associated with an adverse outcome in children: a report from the Children's Oncology Group, studies CCG-2891 and CCG-2961.

To assess the impact of minimally differentiated acute myeloid leukemia (AML-M0) morphology in children, we analyzed 2 sequential Children's Cancer Group AML clinical trials. We compared presenting characteristics and outcomes of 82 CCG-2891 and CCG-2961 patients with de novo, non-Down syndrome (DS) AML-M0 with those of 1620 patients with non-M0 AML, and of 10 CCG-2891 patients with DS-associat...

    Although leukemia is the most common malignancy in childhood, congenital leukemia which manifests itself within the first 4 weeks of life is rare and accounts for less than 1% of all leukemias in childhood. Congenital leukemia should be differentiated from transient myeloproliferative disorder(TMD) which is noted in Down Syndrome. Among the reported patients, acute myeloid leukemia(AML) was...
