AML samples with -7/-7q have reduced NAMPT expression. Comparison of the level of NAMPT gene expression in the BM or PB MNCs from AML with -7/-7q compared with AML lacking the deletion (non -7/-7q). Gene expression was determined by whole-transcriptome RNA sequencing. NAMPT gene expression analysis was performed on independent cohorts of patients with AML from the Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM) (A) and TCGA (B). Dots represent gene expression values in individual patient samples as log2–transformed counts per million (CPM) of RNA sequencing reads. ∗ P < .05 by Mann-Whitney U test.
