Impact of TP53 mutation variant allele frequency on phenotype and outcomes in myelodysplastic syndromes
Open accessAbstract
Although next-generation sequencing has allowed for the detection of somatic mutations in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), the clinical relevance of variant allele frequency (VAF) for the majority of mutations is unknown. We profiled TP53 and 20 additional genes in our training set of 219 patients with MDS or secondary acute myeloid leukemia with findings confirmed in a validation cohort. When parsed by VAF, TP53 VAF predicted for complex cytogenetics in both the training (P=0.001) and validation set (P<0.0001). MDS patients with a TP53 VAF > 40% had a median overall survival (OS) of 124 days versus an OS that was not reached in patients with VAF <20% (hazard ratio (HR), 3.52; P=0.01) with validation in an independent cohort (HR, 4.94, P=0.01). TP53 VAF further stratified distinct prognostic groups independent of clinical prognostic scoring systems (P=0.0005). In multivariate analysis, only a TP53 VAF >40% was an independent covariate (HR, 1.61; P<0.0001). In addition, SRSF2 VAF predicted for monocytosis (P=0.003), RUNX1 VAF with thrombocytopenia (P=0.01) and SF3B1 with ringed sideroblasts (P=0.001). Together, our study indicates that VAF should be incorporated in patient management and risk stratification in MDS.

TP53 mutation burden (high variant allele frequency, concurrent complex karyotype, and/or multihit state) is linked to inferior survival with median overall survival of 6-8 months.
“The TP53 mutation burden (ie, high variant allele frequency [VAF], concurrent complex karyotype, and/or multihit state) is integrally linked to inferior survival with median OS of 6-8 months.8-10,12”
From Eprenetapopt (APR-246) and Azacitidine in <i>TP53</i> -Mutant Myelodysplastic Syndromes (2021) · cites this paper as [8]
The Results sections on TP53 VAF and survival and on complex cytogenetics (page not provided) link higher VAF to shorter survival and to complex karyotype. They report median OS of 183 days for VAF ≥20%, but 124 days for VAF >40% in the training cohort and 272 days in the validation cohort—not a consistent 6–8 months. The paper does not establish the claimed survival figure for a multihit state. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredRemissions in TP53-mutant patients are brief, with a median overall survival ranging from 5 to 12 months.
“However, remissions in TP53-mutant patients are brief with a median overall survival (OS) ranging from 5 to 12 months,8,9,12,13,15-17”
From Eprenetapopt (APR-246) and Azacitidine in <i>TP53</i> -Mutant Myelodysplastic Syndromes (2021) · cites this paper as [8]
The Results section (“TP53 VAF and survival”; page unavailable) reports a median overall survival of 162 days—about 5 months—for TP53-mutant patients, supporting the claim of poor survival. It does not report remission duration, and its survival estimates vary by variant allele frequency, including a median above 12 months for patients with low-frequency mutations. Thus it does not support brief remissions or a 5–12-month range for all TP53-mutant patients. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredmTP53 patients with high VAF (>20-23%), biallelic state, and/or complex karyotype have particularly poor risk.
“Specifically, mTP53 patients with a high variant allele frequency (VAF; i.e., >20%–23%), biallelic state, and/or complex karyotype (CK) have particularly poor risk.”
From Long‐term follow‐up and combined Phase 2 results of eprenetapopt and azacitidine in patients with <i>TP53</i> mutant MDS/AML (2025) · cites this paper as [4]
The Results (TP53 VAF and survival; page unavailable) identify 20% as an optimal survival-stratification cutoff and report poorer survival with higher TP53 VAF. The Results (TP53 VAF and complex cytogenetics; page unavailable) link higher VAF to complex karyotype, while the Discussion notes inferior survival with greater chromosomal complexity. Our copy does not establish a 23% cutoff or assess biallelic TP53 state as a separate risk factor. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredTreatment outcomes for patients with TP53 mutations are poor with available therapies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
