Abstract excerpt
Mutations within the nucleophosmin NPM1 gene occur in approximately one-third of cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). These mutations result in cytoplasmic accumulation of the mutant NPM protein. NPM1 mutations are currently detected by molecular methods. Using samples from 37 AML patients, we investigated whether imaging flow cytometry could be a viable alternative to this current technique.
