Integrated proteogenomic and metabolomic profiling of acute myeloid leukemias to identify molecular subtypes and associated therapy targets

Researchers identified new molecular subtypes in acute myeloid leukemia and pinpointed a drug-resistance driver, opening pathways for more targeted treatment approaches.

The CPTAC consortium applied 13 omics modalities to 173 treatment-naive AML patients, defining new molecular subtype architecture with extensive metabolomic/lipidomic reprogramming. A machine-learning multiomic approach nominated and validated MTA1 as a panobinostat resistance driver, offering actionable precision therapy targets across AML subtypes.
