Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the Nucleophosmin (NPM1) gene have been recently described to occur in about one-third of acute myeloid leukemias (AML) and represent the most frequent genetic alteration currently known in this subset. These mutations generate an elongated NPM1 protein that localizes aberrantly in the cytoplasm. In analogy with Flt3 alterations, NPM1 mutations are mostly detectable in AML with normal karyotype and...
