Wild-type NPM1 with FLT3-ITD (without adverse-risk genetic lesions)

t(9;11)(p21.3;q23.3)/MLLT3::KMT2A

Cytogenetic and/or molecular abnormalities not classified as favorable or adverse 

Poor

inv(3)(q21.3q26.2) or t(3;3)(q21.3;q26.2)/GATA2::MECOM(EVI1)

t(3q26.2;v)/MECOM(EVI1)-rearranged

t(8;16)(p11.2;p13.3)/KAT6A::CREBBP

Monosomal karyotype

Complex karyotype defined as ≥ 3 unrelated chromosome abnormalities in the absence of other class-defining recurring genetic abnormalities; excluding hyperdiploid karyotypes with ≥ 3 trisomies (or polysomies) without structural abnormalities

Mutated ASXL1, BCOR, EZH2, RUNX1, SF3B1, SRSF2, STAG2, U2AF1, and/or ZRSR2

Mutated TP53

ITD = internal tandem duplication.
