Multi-study reanalysis of 2,213 acute myeloid leukemia patients reveals age- and sex-dependent gene expression signatures
Abstract In 2019 it is estimated that more than 21,000 new acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients will be diagnosed in the United States, and nearly 11,000 are expected to die from the disease. AML is primarily diagnosed among the elderly (median 68 years old at diagnosis). Prognoses have significant...

| Sumario: | Abstract In 2019 it is estimated that more than 21,000 new acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients will be diagnosed in the United States, and nearly 11,000 are expected to die from the disease. AML is primarily diagnosed among the elderly (median 68 years old at diagnosis). Prognoses have significantly improved for younger patients, but as much as 70% of patients over 60 years old will die within a year of diagnosis. In this study, we conducted a reanalysis of 2,213 acute myeloid leukemia patients compared to 548 healthy individuals, using curated publicly available microarray gene expression data. We carried out an analysis of normalized batch corrected data, using a linear model that included considerations for disease, age, sex, and tissue. We identified 974 differentially expressed probe sets and 4 significant pathways associated with AML. Additionally, we identified 375 age- and 70 sex-related probe set expression signatures relevant to AML. Finally, we trained a k nearest neighbors model to classify AML and healthy subjects with 90.9% accuracy. Our findings provide a new reanalysis of public datasets, that enabled the identification of new gene sets relevant to AML that can potentially be used in future experiments and possible stratified disease diagnostics. |
