Abstract excerpt
Mutations within the FLT3 gene are of growing importance for classification, risk assessment, and therapeutic targeting of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We analyzed 656 AML patients for a recently described single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the third immunoglobulin-like domain of the extracellular region of FLT3. The FLT3 D324N variant was present in 42 cases (6.4%), but it was not associated with a...
