Abstract excerpt
We characterized the mutational status of the FLT3 tyrosine kinase domain (FLT3-TLD) in 3082 patients with newly diagnosed AML. FLT3-TKD mutations were detected in 147 of 3082 (4.8%) patients. Similar to the FLT3 juxtamembrane domain mutations (FLT3-LM), there was a high correlation of FLT3-TKD mutations with normal karyotype (88 of 1472; 6.0%). FLT3-TKD mutations were most frequent in the AML FAB subtypes M5b...
