Moreover, the T-cell compartment of AML patients with no DNMT3A mutations skewed toward terminal differentiation at the expense of memory T cells (CD4 Teff: P = 0.034; CD8 Teff: P = 0.030; CD8 memory T: P = 0.017), whereas those with mutated DNMT3A had a decrease in CD8 naïve T (Tn) and CD4 effector memory T cells (Tem) as well as an increase in CD4 central memory T cells (Tcm) (P = 0.037, 0.053 and 0.053). This evidence concerns the gene CD8A and acute myeloid leukemia.
