Abstract excerpt
The fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene aberrations, internal tandem duplication (ITD) and tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) mutations, are frequent in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). To evaluate their prognostic significance, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis. Eleven studies covering a total of 1063 subjects were included in this review. Incidence of ITD and TKD mutations was 12-38% and 2-20%,...
