Abstract excerpt
Recently, c-kit mutations have been reported as a novel adverse prognostic factor of acute myeloid leukemia with t(8;21)(q22;q22) translocation (t(8;21) AML). However, much remains unclear about its clinical significance. In this study, we developed a highly sensitive mutation detection method known as mutation-biased PCR (MB-PCR) and investigated the relationship between c-kit mutations and prognosis. When c-kit...
