2 Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease, within which genetic profiles dictate clinical outcomes. Cytogenetic and molecular profiling in AML are mandatory diagnostic and prognostic requirements, yet interpretation of these results is becoming increasingly complex. Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have enabled comprehensive characterization of the genomic landscape of AML revealing complex patterns of clonal evolution during development and treatment.1,2 The datasets generated represent invaluable resources to interrogate the genomic information from large patient cohorts and identify clinically relevant molecular biomarkers of disease initiation, progression and response to treatment.3,4 The

2017 update of the European LeukemiaNet recommendations on genetic risk stratification (ELN 2017) provides a comprehensive genomic classification and prognostication schema, updating the

2010 recommendations (ELN 2010).5 A key change in ELN

2017 has been to re-classify Nucleophosmin
