To better stratify the AML patients into different risk groups, a scoring system incorporating SF mutations with ten other prognostic factors, including age, WBC counts, cytogenetics at diagnosis, NPM1/FLT3-ITD, and mutations of CEBPA, IDH2, TP53, DNMT3A, RUNX1 and WT1, into survival analysis was formulated based on the results of our Cox proportional hazards model. Here, CEBPA is linked to acute myeloid leukemia.
