The median expression value was used as a cutpoint.

Favorable risk group consists of patients with CEBPA mutations or those who are FLT3-ITD-negative and harbor NPM1 mutations. Intermediate-I genetic group is composed of patients who are not in the Favorable group (ie, those with wild-type CEBPA and wild-type NPM1 with or without FLT3-ITD or mutated NPM1 with FLT3-ITD).
