Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Internal tandem duplication (ITD) of FMS-related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene, which occurs in exons 14 and 15, is one of the most prevalent somatic mutations in adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and has biological, prognostic, and therapeutic implications. The prognostic importance of codon 835 tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) mutation (exon 20), which occurs relatively frequently in adult AML, is...
