Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3/ITD) is associated with an unfavorable prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the role of FLT3 expression as well as its correlation to FLT3/ITD has not sufficiently studied. This study was to evaluate the relationship between FLT3 gene expression and FLT3/ITD mutation in patients with de novo AML. METHODS: FLT3...
