Abstract

Mutant TP53 is an adverse risk factor in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but large-scale integrated genomic-proteomic analyses of TP53 alterations in patients with AML remain limited. We analyzed TP53 mutational status, copy number (CN), and protein expression data in AML (N = 528) and provide a compilation of mutation sites and types across disease subgroups among treated and untreated patients. Our analysis shows differential hotspots in subsets of AML and uncovers novel pathogenic variants involving TP53 splice sites. In addition, we identified TP53 CN loss in 70.2% of TP53-mutated AML cases, which have more deleterious TP53 mutations, as well as copy neutral loss of heterozygosity in 5/32 (15.6%) AML patients who had intact TP53 CN. Importantly, we demonstrate that mutant p53 protein expression patterns by immunohistochemistry evaluated using digital image-assisted analysis provide a robust readout that integrates TP53 mutation and allelic states in patients with AML. Expression of p53 by immunohistochemistry informed mutation status irrespective of TP53 CN status. Genomic analysis of comutations in TP53-mutant AML shows a muted landscape encompassing primarily mutations in genes involved in epigenetic regulation (DNMT3A and TET2), RAS/MAPK signaling (NF1, KRAS/NRAS, PTPN11), and RNA splicing (SRSF2). In summary, our data provide a rationale to refine risk stratification of patients with AML on the basis of integrated molecular and protein-level TP53 analyses.

Figure 1. Lollipop plot illustrating TP53 mutational data in this study group. (A) FL AML (n = 354 patients). (B) FL AML-MRC (n = 196 patients). (C) FL t-AML (n = 80 patients). (D) Salvage and treated-secondary FL (n = 174 patients) (salvage depicted by square: treated-secondary FL depicted by circles). (E) Splice site mutations in all types of AML (n = 26 patients). Note: Circles are colored according to the corresponding mutation type. Missense (red circles) mutations are shown above the gene schematic diagram, and truncating mutations, including nonsense (green circles), frameshift (blue circles), and deletion (aqua circles), are shown below the diagram. Splice site mutations are depicted in purple circles. At a given locus, lollipop height is proportional to the number of times a mutation was observed in study subjects. The structural domains of the gene represented in the figure: TAD, transactivation domain (TAD1: residues 1 to 40, TAD2 41 to 60 residues); PRD, proline-rich domain (61 to 92 residues); DBD, DNA binding domain (94 to 292 residues); HD, hinge domain (293 to 325 residues); OD, oligomerization domain (326 to 353 residues); CTD, C-terminal domain (354 to 393 residues).37

(B) Violin plot showing median and quartiles, with smoothed width reflecting frequency distribution of p53 accumulation levels in bone marrow samples with TP53 mutant and wild-type AML. p53 accumulation is measured using digital image analysis-assisted immunohistochemistry; percentage values represent cells with strong (3+) staining intensity.

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.
