Molecular analysis of different FLT3-ITD mutations in acute myeloid leukemia.

Abstract excerpt

Mutation of the FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) gene occurs with a frequency of 20-25% in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Different studies have reported conflicting results, stating the importance of the length, position and number of internal tandem duplications (ITDs) for prognostic significance. In the present study, FLT3-ITD mutations were found in 51 (23%) of 218 patients with AML. Using sequence analysis...
