Clinical impact of nucleophosmin mutations and Flt3 internal tandem duplications in patients older than 60 yr with acute myeloid leukaemia
10 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nucleophosmin (NPM1) and Flt3 internal tandem duplications (Flt3-ITD mutations) represent the most frequent molecular aberrations in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). While NPM1 mutations are associated with favourable prognosis in younger AML patients, Flt3-ITD mutations reflect an unfavourable prognostic factor in these patients. So far, especially NPM1 mutations have not yet been...
