ELN 2017 ELN 2022 Comments
Favorable Risk
t(8;21)(q22;q22.1)/RUNX1::RUNX1T1 t(8;21)(q22;q22.1)/RUNX1::RUNX1T1
inv(16)(p13.1q22) or t(16;16)(p13.1;q22)/CBFB::MYH11 inv(16)(p13.1q22) or t(16;16)(p13.1;q22)/CBFB::MYH11
Mutated NPM1 without FLT3-ITD or with FLT3-ITD low Mutated NPM1 without FLT3-ITD (and without adverse-risk cytogenetics) FLT3-ITD allelic ratio is no longer considered due to the impact of midostaurin-based regimens and the absence of a standardized assay to assess it
Biallelic mutated CEBPA bZIP in-frame mutated CEBPA Mono- or biallelic mutational state lost its prognostic weight in the latter classification, with inframe bZIP mutations gaining a predominant role
Intermediate Risk
Mutated NPM1 with FLT3-ITD high Mutated NPM1 with FLT3-ITD (and without adverse-risk cytogenetics)
Wild-type NPM1 without FLT3-ITD or with FLT3-ITD low (without adverse-risk genetic lesions) Wild-type NPM1 with FLT3-ITD (without adverse-risk genetic lesions or favorable cytogenetics) FLT3-ITD showed an independent prognostic impact, globally placing patients at intermediate risk

Complex karyotype, monosomal karyotype Complex karyotype, monosomal karyotype Multiple trisomies or polysomies no longer define CK
Mutated RUNX1, ASXL1 Mutated ASXL1, BCOR, EZH2, RUNX1, SF3B1, SRSF2, STAG2, U2AF1, and/or ZRSR2 Additional gene mutations are added, irrespective of prior MDS history
Mutated TP53 Mutated TP53 At least a 10% VAF is required to classify patients as TP53-mutated
Wild-type NPM1 and FLT3-ITD high FLT3-ITD define an intermediate risk, irrespective of its allelic ratio or concurrent NPM1 mutations
