## Abstract Elderly acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients have a dismal prognosis due to biological features of disease in itself and to presence of comorbidities. Aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic impact of comorbidity prognostic score systems applied in our population of patients.
Mutations affecting NPM, FLT3 ITD and TKD were present in 25% (30/120), 22% (26/120) and 8/120 (7%), respectively. NPM mutations were most prevalent in patients with normal karyotype (24/52; 46%) and were associated with FLT3-ITD mutations (16/26; 62%). Regarding the prognostic significance of NPM a
