Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine the clinical relevance of Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) gene mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with normal karyotype (NK). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Exons 7 and 9 of WT1 were screened in samples from 470 young adult NK AMLs using a combination of direct sequencing and high-resolution capillary electrophoresis. RESULTS: Overall, 51 mutations were detected in 47 cases (10%): 46 frameshift mutations...
