Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Mutations in the C-terminal region of the nucleophosmin (NPM1) gene occur in approximately 60% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases with normal karyotype and represent the most common genetic lesion presently known in this disease. Because of their frequency and favorable impact on prognostic outcome, screening for this aberration is currently recommended in routine diagnostic characterization of...
