Expression of CD7, ELA-2, PR-3, and the polycomb group gene BMI-1 reflects the intrinsic heterogeneity and predicts prognosis of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who were not treated with allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). This study investigated whether expression of these genes determined outcome following allo-SCT in a cohort of 84 patients with chronic-phase (CP) CML. We found that patients expressing BMI-1 at a "high" level before allo-SCT had an improved overall survival (P = .005) related to a reduced transplantation-related mortality. In multivariate analysis, when adjusted for the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT)-Gratwohl score and other prog-nostic factors, there was an independent association between BMI-1 expression and grades 2 to 4 acute graft-versus-host disease (relative risk [RR] = 2.85; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.3-6.4; P = .011), suggesting that BMI-1 measured prior to allo-SCT can serve as a biomarker for predicting outcome in patients with CP-CML receiving allo-SCT, and may thus contribute to better therapeutic decisions.
