Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous malignancy at the genetic level, and molecular genetic analysis of AML has become critical not only for diagnosis and classification but also for prognostic stratification, treatment decisions, and monitoring of minimal residual disease. Genetic testing of multiple genes relevant to the pathobiology of leukemogenesis and clinical management is already the standard of care in patients with AML, and mutations in several genes are assuming increasing clinical importance. This chapter reviews the common cytogenetic and molecular genetic abnormalities of AML, along with the approaches and methods used in the analysis of these abnormalities to address the practical questions frequently encountered in the pathologic diagnosis of AML patients, as well as key points and pitfalls in the clinical interpretation of molecular tests in guiding precision AML management. At the end, five cases are presented to illustrate the molecular genetic pathology of different AML entities.
