Prognostic value of internal tandem duplication of the FLT3 gene in childhood acute myelogenous leukemia
1 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recently, an internal tandem duplication of the FLT3 gene (FLT3/ITD) was found in 20% of adult cases of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), and this length abnormality was suggested to be associated with leukemic progression.
