Brief summary
Treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has been revolutionized by tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Nevertheless, case of failure and suboptimal response are still observed even in children. Pediatric CML is a rare disease and differs from adult in terms of disease presentation and treatment response underlying a likely different CML biology. Molecular mechanisms that induce resistance to TKI are still poorly characterized except mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain of BCR::ABL1. We propose to search for a molecular signature to predict the response to TKI in the pediatric population.
Detailed description
Commonly mutated genes associated with myeloid malignancies have been described in acceleration phase and blastic phase but also at diagnostic in adult chronic phase-CML (CP-CML). The impact of these mutations on treatment response is still debated but several studies observed a worse outcome in adult patients with some mutations. In children only one study explored the molecular status of 30 genes in 21 children and young adults. They found a higher proportion of ASXL1 mutations in children than in adult They did not observed any significant difference in overall survival of ASXL1 mutated versus non-mutated patients but probably due the small size of the cohort. We propose here, to investigate retrospectively on DNA at diagnosis of 88 CP-CML children the mutation status of 64 genes by next generation sequencing and to see if there is an association with the response to TKI treatment. We will complete the molecular signature by analyzing the differentially genetic expression profile by RNA-seq on peripheral blood RNA of 8 patients with CCR at 12 months (and/or a BCR ::ABL1 IS ≤1%IS) and 8 patients with no CCR at 12 months.
