Acute Megakaryoblastic Leukemia
Definition / Description of Disease
Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia is a myeloid disease defined by ≥20% blasts in the peripheral blood or bone marrow, of which ≥50% are of megakaryocyte lineage. In the 2016 revision to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification system, acute megakaryoblastic leukemia is a distinct entity within the section of HAEM4:Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Not Otherwise Specified[1][2]. This entity does not meet the criteria for inclusion in any of the other AML groups (i.e. AML with Recurrent Genetic Abnormalities, AML with Myelodysplasia-Related Changes, or Therapy-Related Myeloid Neoplasms).
AMKL in an individual with Down syndrome should be classified as a different entity, specifically HAEM5:Myeloid proliferations associated with Down syndrome[2].
AMKL associated with t(1;22)(p13.3;q13.1), or inv(3)(q21.3q26.2)/t(3;3)(q21.3;q26.2) should be classified as a different entity, specifically HAEM4:Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) with Recurrent Genetic Abnormalities: HAEM5:Acute myeloid leukaemia with RBM15::MRTFA fusion or HAEM5:Acute myeloid leukaemia with MECOM rearrangement[2].
Synonyms / Terminology
French-American-British (FAB) classification M7[2].
Epidemiology / Prevalence
AMKL comprises between 4% and 15% of newly diagnosed pediatric acute myeloid leukemia patients[3].
Clinical Features
- Common manifestations include cytopenias (often thrombocytopenia)[2].
- An association between acute megakaryoblastic leukemia and mediastrinal germ cell tumors has been described[4].
Sites of Involvement
Bone marrow.
Morphologic Features
- Megakaryoblasts are usually medium-sized to large cells with basophilic cytoplasm and a high nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio.
- Nuclei are round, slightly irregular or indented with finely reticular chromatin and 1 - 3 nucleoli.
- Bone marrow myelofibrosis is common.
Immunophenotype
Cytochemistry
- Megakaryoblasts are typically negative for myeloperoxidase (MPO) and stain negatively with Sudan black B.
- Variable reactivity to periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining from negative to focal or strongly positive.
Immunophenotype including:
- One or more of the platelet glycoproteins: CD41, CD61, and CD42b
- Myeloid-associated markers may be positive: CD13, CD33
- CD34, CD45, and HLA-DR are often negative, especially in children
| Finding | Marker |
|---|---|
| Positive (universal) | EXAMPLE CD1 |
| Positive (subset) | EXAMPLE CD2 |
| Negative (universal) | EXAMPLE CD3 |
| Negative (subset) | EXAMPLE CD4 |
Chromosomal Rearrangements (Gene Fusions)
None.
| Chromosomal Rearrangement | Genes in Fusion (5’ or 3’ Segments) | Pathogenic Derivative | Prevalence |
|---|---|---|---|
| EXAMPLE t(9;22)(q34;q11.2) | EXAMPLE 3'ABL1 / 5'BCR | EXAMPLE der(22) | EXAMPLE 5% |
| EXAMPLE t(8;21)(q22;q22) | EXAMPLE 5'RUNX1 / 3'RUNXT1 | EXAMPLE der(8) | EXAMPLE 5% |
Characteristic Chromosomal Aberrations / Patterns
- No unique chromosomal abnormality is associated with AMKL.
- Isochromosome 12p is often observed in young males with mediatinal germ tumors and AMKL[5].
Genomic Gain/Loss/LOH
None
| Chromosome Number | Gain/Loss/Amp/LOH | Region |
|---|---|---|
| EXAMPLE 8 | EXAMPLE Gain | EXAMPLE chr8:0-1000000 |
| EXAMPLE 7 | EXAMPLE Loss | EXAMPLE chr7:0-1000000 |
Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)
None.
| Gene | Mutation | Oncogene/Tumor Suppressor/Other | Presumed Mechanism (LOF/GOF/Other; Driver/Passenger) | Prevalence (COSMIC/TCGA/Other) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EXAMPLE TP53 | EXAMPLE R273H | EXAMPLE Tumor Suppressor | EXAMPLE LOF | EXAMPLE 20% |
Other Mutations
| Type | Gene/Region/Other |
|---|---|
| Concomitant Mutations | EXAMPLE IDH1 R123H |
| Secondary Mutations | EXAMPLE Trisomy 7 |
| Mutually Exclusive | EXAMPLE EGFR Amplification |
Epigenomics (Methylation)
None.
Genes and Main Pathways Involved
None.
Diagnostic Testing Methods
- Conventional chromosome analysis
- FISH myeloid panel
Clinical Significance (Diagnosis, Prognosis and Therapeutic Implications)
Diagnosis
- The main differential diagnoses of acute megakaryoblastic leukemia include: AML with minimal differentiation, AML-MRC, acute panmeylosis with myelofibrosis, lymphoblastic leukemia, pure erythroid leukemia, blastic transformation of chronic myeloid leukemia, and the blast phase of any other myeloproliferative neoplasm[2].
Prognosis
- The prognosis of AMKL is usually poorer than that of other AML types, HAEM5:Acute myeloid leukaemia with RBM15::MRTFA fusion, and HAEM5:Myeloid proliferations associated with Down syndrome[2][6].
