Background: Overexpression of dedicator of cytokinesis 1 (DOCK1) has been confirmed as an unfavorable prognostic marker in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Purpose: This study is to explore the clinical implications of DOCK1 on AML patients underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Patients and methods: We analyzed 71 de novo AML patients treated with allo-HSCT and divided them into two groups (DOCK1high vs DOCK1low) by the median expression level of DOCK1. Results: High DOCK1 expression was associated with older age (P=0.019), wild-type CEBPA (P=0.002), IDH1/2 mutations (P=0.010) and RUNX1 mutation (P=0.005). Univariate analyses showed that DOCK1high and RUNX1 mutation were associated with shorter OS (P<0.001, P=0.024). Multivariate analysis confirmed the negative effect of high DOCK1 level on overall survival (P=0.010). Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that in AML patients who received allo-HSCT, high DOCK1 expression might have a persistent negative prognostic impact post-transplant.
