Abstract excerpt
NPM1 gene mutations are the most frequent genetic lesion in the 60% of adult acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs) with normal karyotype and no evidence of typical fusion genes (BCR/ABL1, PML/RARA, AML1/ETO, CBFB/MYH11, DEK/CAN). Using direct sequencing we previously identified six different heterozygous mutants within exon 12 encoding the nucleophosmin C-terminus. Because of these mutations the shuttling protein...
