For the CEBPA+ versus CEBPA-wt comparison.

Both had inv(16) AML.

Including 36 normal karyotype, 3 del(9q), 1 trisomy 13, 1 trisomy 8, 1 trisomy 21, 1 abnormality 11q23, and 3 other various single abnormalities.

§

Including 2 complex karyotypes, 2 monosomy 7, and 1 abnormality 3q.

Patients with favorable cytogenetics as those with secondary AML were not included in outcome estimations and comparisons.

P values: .99, .030, .013, and .035 for CR rate, RFS, DFS, and OS, respectively, compared with the corresponding subset of 221 CEBPA-wt patients with de novo CN-AML and no FLT3-ITD, in whom the CR rate was 87%, and 5-year RFS, DFS, and OS, 29% (22%-37%), 26% (19%-34%), and 37% (30%-45%), respectively.

#

P = .69, .51, .33, and .85 for CR rate, RFS, DFS, and OS, respectively, compared with the corresponding subset of 59 CEBPA-wt patients with de novo CN-AML and FLT3-ITD, in whom the CR rate was 78%, and 5-year RFS, DFS, and OS, 27% (14%-43%), 23% (11%-37%), and 28% (17%-41%), respectively.

**

P = .75, .91, .55, and .80 for CR rate, RFS, DFS, and OS, respectively, compared with the corresponding subset of 211 CEBPA-wt patients with de novo AML and non-CBF abnormal karyotype, in whom the CR rate was 78%, and 5-year RFS, DFS, and OS, 23% (15%-31%), 20% (14%-28%), and 26% (20%-33%), respectively.
