Classification & Risk Stratification Prediction
Classification & Risk Stratification Prediction is available for cases created using Connected Insights v5.1+.
Overview
If the case disease is Acute Myeloid Leukemia or a subtype, Classification & Risk Stratification Prediction is provided on the Overview Tab.

Classification and risk stratification predictions are based on WHO 2022 and ELN 2022 acute myeloid leukemia guidelines, respectively, focusing on Acute myeloid leukemia with defining genetic abnormalities.

Definitions
Complex Karyotype
According to WHO/ISCN: ≥ 3 abnormalities, where abnormalities are counted as follows:
Only clonal abnormalities are counted; abnormalities present in only 1 metaphase are ignored.
Numerical gains and losses, simple and complex balanced translocations, unbalanced aberrations involving one chromosome, as well as multiplication of a complete chromosome set are counted as one abnormality.
Unbalanced aberrations involving two or more chromosomes, tetrasomy of same chromosome, triplication or quadruplication, as well as isoderivative chromosomes, are counted as 2 abnormalities.
Constitutional abnormalities are not counted.
In case of multiple clones (subclones or independent clones), chromosome abnormalities in each clone/subclone are counted separately and the number of chromosomal abnormalities is defined by the clone with the highest abnormalities.
For composite karyotypes, clonal chromosomal aberrations are counted in metaphases with the highest number of abnormalities.
We consider the following when counting abnormalities:
Recurrent SVs
One CNV ≥ 5 Mbp per chromosome arm
Monosomal Karyotype
According to ELN: Presence of two or more distinct monosomies (excluding loss of X or Y), or one single autosomal monosomy in combination with at least one structural chromosome abnormality (excluding core-binding factor AML).
