The application of genetic diagnostic technology is currently prevalent in numerous clinical sectors. According to recent research, the presence of specific gene mutations or rearrangements in leukemia cells is the primary cause of the disease. As different types of leukemia are caused by atypical mutated genes, testing for these mutations or rearrangements can help diagnose leukemia and identify the disease's molecular targets for treatment. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Using the search fields \"<i>WT1</i>,\" \"<i>DNMT3A</i>,\" \"Acute myeloid leukemia,\" and \"survival,\" the CBM, Cochrane Library, Scopus, EMBASE, and PUBMED databases were separately reviewed. The methodology for evaluating the risk of bias developed by the Cochrane Collaboration was used in conjunction with a methodical evaluation of pertinent literature.
