Long FLT3 internal tandem duplications and reduced PML-RAR expression at diagnosis characterize a high-risk subgroup of acute promyelocytic leukemia patients
4 Feb 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Internal tandem duplications of the FLT3 gene (FLT3-ITDs) are frequent in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), however its clinical impact remains controversial. DESIGN AND METHODS: We analyzed the prognostic significance of FLT3-ITD mutant level and size, as well as FLT3-D835 point mutations, PML-RARalpha expression and other predictive factors in 129 APL patients at diagnosis enrolled...
