ABSTRACT Unlike the case with acute myeloid leukemia, there is limited information on the prognostic impact of isocitrate dehydrogenase (_IDH_) mutations in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).
In the current study of 277 patients with MDS, _IDH_ mutations were detected in 34 (12%) cases: 26 _IDH2_ (all R140Q) and 8 _IDH1_ (6 R132S and 2 R132C). Mutational frequency was 4% (2 of
56) in refractory anemia with ring sideroblasts, 12% (16 of 130) in refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia, 14% (2 of 14) in MDS-unclassifiable, 14% (6 of 42) in refractory anemia
with excess blasts (RAEB)-1 and 23% (8 of 35) in RAEB-2. Normal karyotype was noted in all but one _IDH1_-mutated cases and 13 _IDH2_-mutated cases. Multivariable analysis identified
presence of mutant _IDH1_ (_P_=0.0004; hazard ration 4.0, 95% confidence interval 1.9–8.8), revised International Prognostic Scoring System risk category (_P_<0.0001), and red cell
transfusion need (_P_=0.002) as independent predictors of inferior survival. In a similar multivariable analysis, mutant _IDH1_ was the only variable associated with shortened leukemia-free
survival (_P_=0.001; hazard ration 7.0, 95% confidence interval 2.3–20.8). The presence of _IDH2_R140Q did not affect the overall (_P_=0.54) or leukemia-free (_P_=0.81) survival. The current
study suggests a powerful adverse prognostic effect for mutant _IDH1_ in MDS. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your
