Abstract excerpt
The FLT3 receptor is activated by juxtamembrane insertion mutations and by activation loop point mutations in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In a systematic tyrosine kinase gene exon resequencing study, 21 of 24 FLT3 exons were sequenced in samples from 53 patients with AML, 9 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and 3 patients with myelodysplasia samples. Three patients had novel point...
