Abstract excerpt
Internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutations in the FLT3 tyrosine kinase have been detected in approximately 20% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Patients harboring FLT3/ITD mutations have a relatively poor prognosis. FLT3/ITD results in constitutive autophosphorylation of the receptor and factor-independent survival. Previous studies have shown that FLT3/ITD activates the signal transducers and...
