Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) mutations are common in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). These patients regularly develop resistance to FLT3 inhibitors suggesting that targeted combination drug strategies are needed to enhance AML therapy efficacy. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Acquired point mutations of FLT3-ITD gene were screened using cDNA-based sequencing...
