To identify prognostically relevant somatic mutations and chromosomal translocations in myeloid sarcoma using targeted next-generation sequencing.
Extracted genomic DNA and RNA from extramedullary myeloid sarcoma tumor specimens.
Performed targeted next-generation sequencing using dedicated panels to evaluate recurrent leukemia-associated gene mutations and fusion transcripts.
Detected recurrent somatic mutations and structural rearrangements characteristic of acute myeloid leukemia across extramedullary tumor lesions.
Identified clinically actionable and prognostically significant genetic aberrations that assist in risk assessment and targeted therapeutic decision-making.

Implication

Molecular profiling reveals clinically actionable mutations and translocations in myeloid sarcoma, highlighting the prognostic utility of targeted next-generation sequencing.

Abstract

Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a subgroup of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) where myeloid blasts form a tumoral mass in extramedullary tissues [1]. MS may occur at any point during the disease course and al...
