Abstract excerpt
The receptor tyrosine kinase Flt3 plays an important role in proliferation and survival of hematopoietic cells. Flt3 is the most frequently mutated gene (20-30%) in cases of acutemyeloid leukemia (AML). The majority of Flt3 mutations are internal tandem duplications (ITD) in the juxtamembrane domain of Flt3 receptor. This mutation results in the constitutive activation of STAT5 and Ras/mitogen-activated protein...
