Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence of c-kit and JAK2 gene mutations in protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) family in adult t(8;21) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and their implications. METHODS: Genomic DNAs from 78 t(8;21) AML patients were screened for mutated c-kit (mutKIT) in exon 8 and 17 by PCR and sequencing. JAK2 V617F mutation screening was processed by allele-specific PCR. RESULTS: (1) Among 78 t(8;21) AML...
