Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To analyze the prognostic impact of mutated KIT (mutKIT) in core-binding factor acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with inv(16)(p13q22) and t(8;21)(q22;q22). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Sixty-one adults with inv(16) and 49 adults with t(8;21), assigned to postremission therapy with repetitive cycles of higher dose cytarabine were analyzed for mutKIT in exon 17 (mutKIT17) and 8 (mutKIT8) by denaturing...
