Somatic loss-of-function RUNX1 mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) include missense, nonsense, and frameshift mutations, whereas germline RUNX1 variants in RUNX1-FPDMM also include large exonic deletions. Alternative variant detection approaches revealed that large exonic deletions in RUNX1 are also common in sporadic AML, which has implications for patient stratification and therapeutic decision-making.
