Abstract excerpt
Currently, FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are emerging as the most promising drug therapy to overcome the dismal prognosis of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) patients harboring internal tandem duplications (ITDs) of FLT3. However, up-front drug resistance occurs in approximately 30% of patients, and molecular mechanisms of resistance are poorly understood. Here, we have uncovered a novel mechanism of...
