1. Whole transcriptome sequencing identified a 10-gene long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) prognostic score that has prognostic effects independent of standard European LeukemiaNet risk stratification in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).
2. The lncRNA prognostic score facilitated more accurate risk stratification in favourable-risk and intermediate-risk AML patients.
3. External validity of the lncRNA prognostic score was demonstrated using large external datasets from Beat-AML and TCGA-LAML.
4. A clinical-grade capture-seq assay was devised and validated to facilitate cost-effective implementation of the lncRNA prognostic score in clinical laboratories.
