Molecular typing of adult acute myeloid leukaemia: significance of translocations, tandem duplications, methylation, and selective gene expression profiling
21 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Although a number of molecular aberrations have been described in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), no study has yet determined their relative prognostic importance. We have analysed blast cells from 250 adult patients treated at the same institution during a 15-year period. Balanced translocations were detected by multiplex polymerase chain reaction in 13% of the cases. Internal tandem duplication (ITD) of the FLT3...
