ENL 2017 Genetic Risk Classification

 (Blood 2017;129:424)

Favorable 🟢

  • APL: t(15;17); PML-RARa;

  • t(8;21): RUNX1-RUNX1T1; inv(16): CBFB-MYH1;

  • mutated NPM1 w/o FLT3-ITD or w/ FLT3-ITDlow*;

  • biallelic mutation in CEBPA

Intermediate 🟡

  • FLT3-ITDlow*; mutated NPM1 & FLT3-ITDhigh*; t(9;11): MLL-MLLT3;

  • cytogenetic abnl not classified as favorable or adverse, including normal karyotype w/o mutations in FLT3-ITD & NPM1

Adverse 🔴

  • -5 or del(5q); -7; -17/abn(17p); complex or monosomal karyotype;

  • t(6;9): DEK-NUP214; t(9;22) BCR-ABL1; inv(3): GATA2-MECOM;

  • wildtype NPM1 & FLT-ITDhigh*; mutated TP53, RUNX1, ASXL1


  • low/high: FLT3-ITD variant allele frequency (VAF); reflects burden of mut. leukemic cells
