KIT-D816 mutations in AML1-ETO-positive AML are associated with impaired event-free and overall survival
28 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in codon D816 of the KIT gene represent a recurrent genetic alteration in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). To clarify the biologic implication of activation loop mutations of the KIT gene, 1940 randomly selected AML patients were analyzed. In total, 33 (1.7%) of 1940 patients were positive for D816 mutations. Of these 33 patients, 8 (24.2%) had a t(8;21), which was significantly higher compared with the...
