CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-? (CEBPA) mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with a normal karyotype (NK) confer favorable prognosis, whereas NK-AML patients per se are of intermediate risk. This suggests that blocked CEBPA function characterizes NK-AML with favorable outcome. We determined the prognostic significance of CEBPA DNA binding function by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 105 NK-AML patients. Suppressed CEBPA DNA binding was defined by 21 good-risk AML patients with inv(16) or t(8;21) (both abnormalities targeting CEBPA) and 8 NK-AML patients with dominant-negative CEBPA mutations. NK-AML patients with suppressed CEBPA function showed a better overall survival (P = .0231) and disease-free survival (P = .0069) than patients with conserved CEBPA function. Suppressed CEBPA DNA binding was an independent marker for better overall survival and disease-free survival in a multivariable analysis that included FLT3-ITD, NPM1 and CEBPA mutation status, white blood cell count, age and lactate dehydrogenase. These data indicate that suppressed CEBPA function is associated with favorable prognosis in NK-AML patients.
