Frequency of DNMT3A Mutations in Patients with Acute Leukemia in Mashhad
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Background and Aims: DNA methyltransferase3A (DNMT3A) is necessary for the adjustment of gene expression, and the mutations in the DNMT3A gene are reported in a variety of leukemia cases. DNMT3A mutations are during cancer progression and cause poor prognosis in many leukemias. Thus, this gene can be a target for new treatments. This study aimed to examine the distribution of DNMT3A mutations in Iranian acute leukemia patients. Materials and Methods: In this study, diagnostic samples from 45 patients with de novo acute leukemia, including 22 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, and 23 acute leukemia lymphoblastic (ALL) patients were screened, from April 2017 to March 2018 for the incidence of DNMT3A mutations by polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing. Results: A total of 2 (9.1%) AML cases and 1 (4.34%) ALL cases were found to have the DNMT3A R882H mutation. It was found that a total of 22.7% and 21.7% of patients with AML and ALL had polymorphism rs368516543, respectively. DNMT3A mutations were considerably associated with higher age in AML patients. Conclusions: The findings suggest that the DNMT3A mutations are probably a new biomarker in the early examination and treatment of acute leukemia, even though further studies are needed.

Detection of R882 Mutations in DNMT3A Gene in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Method Comparison Study
Background: Somatic mutations in the hotspot region of the DNA-methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) gene were recurrently identified in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It is believed that DNMT3A mutations confer an adverse prognosis for AML patients. These lines of evidence support the need for a rapid and cost-efficient method for the detection of these mutations. The present study aimed to establish h...

Background and Objective: Identification of cytogenetic and molecular changes plays an important role in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Thus, they are used in classification, prognosis and treatment of the disease. The CD123 expression and FLT3 gene mutations are also the variations that may assist in prognosis and treatment of patients with AML.Methods:</...
متن کاملErratum to “DNMT3A Mutations in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in South Brazil”
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a complex and heterogeneous hematopoietic tissue neoplasm. Several molecular markers have been described that help to classify AML patients into risk groups. DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) gene mutations have been recently identified in about 22% of AML patients and associated with poor prognosis as an independent risk factor. Our aims were to determine the fr...

BACKGROUND DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) mutations have been found in approximately 20% of adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and in 0% to 1.4% of children with AML, and the hotspots of mutations are mainly located in the catalytic methyltransferase domain, hereinto, mutation R882 accounts for 60%. Although the negative effect of DNMT3A on treatment outcome is well known, the progn...
