Abstract excerpt
Pediatric acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) has a poor prognosis, and novel therapies are needed. The FLT3 tyrosine kinase represents a promising target in pediatric AML. FLT3 is constitutively activated either by an internal tandem duplication (ITD) or by a point mutation (PM) in 17% to 24% of pediatric AML cases. Autocrine stimulation of wild-type (WT) FLT3 by coexpressed FLT3 ligand (FL) occurs in many other...
