contents Clonal dynamics of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia progression: paired‐sample comparison Hsiao‐Wen Kao Ming‐Chung Kuo Che‐Wei Ou Ting‐Yu Huang Hung Chang Tung‐Liang Lin Yu‐Shin Hung Jin‐Hou Wu Lee‐Yung Shih The Journal of Pathology AbstractThis study investigated the clonal evolution of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) progression to secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML) by next‐generation sequencing and pyrosequencing for variant allele frequency (VAF) of gene mutations and SNP microarray for copy neutral loss of heterozygosity (CN‐LOH) in 38 paired samples from CMML/sAML patients of Taiwanese origin. The median interval between CMML and sAML samples collection was 14.9 months (1.0–89.6). RUNX1 (57%), TET2 (46%), SRSF2 (37%), and ASXL1 (28%) mutations were frequent at CMML diagnosis. Baseline VAF in epigenetic regulator genes was high (>35%) in 83% of mutational events at the CMML phase, remained stable in 78% (VAF changes <10%), and increased in 20% (increased VAF > 10%) during progression to sAML. Transcription factor genes showed high VAF (>35%) in 51% at the CMML phase, and stable VAF in 60% during progression. VAF of spliceosome genes was high (>35%) in 70% at CMML phase, and stable in 61% during progression. Activated signaling genes exhibited acquisition or loss during progression. TET2 mutations were often founding clones, and SRSF2, ASXL1, DNMT3A, EZH2, or spliceosome genes also acted as ancestral mutations. RUNX1 mutations were typically later events and occasionally ancestral hits or germline mutations. Acquisition of cytogenetic changes, signaling pathways genes (PTPN11, FLT3, NRAS, CBL), or AML‐defined genes (NPM1, CEBPA, CBFB::MYH11) by linear or branching evolution occurred during sAML progression. CN‐LOH was noted in EZH2, CBL, TET2, and DNMT3A genes. CEBPA mutation and concurrent biallelic TET2 with NRAS mutations at CMML diagnosis were risk factors for time to AML progression and overall survival. A characteristic ASXL1MT/RUNX1MT/SpliceosomeMT/signalingWT genetic profile was associated with monocyte counts of 0.5–1.0 × 109/l. This study highlights the complexity and heterogeneity of dynamic changes in clonal architecture during CMML progression, emphasizing its importance in pathogenesis, phenotype, risk stratification, and therapeutic strategy. © 2025 The Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland. 10.1002/path.6396 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
