Abstract excerpt
FLT3-internal tandem duplications (FLT3-ITDs) are prognostic driver mutations found in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Although these short duplications occur in 25% of AML patients, little is known about the molecular mechanism underlying their formation. Understanding the origin of FLT3-ITDs would advance our understanding of the genesis of AML. We analyzed the sequence and molecular anatomy of 300 FLT3-ITDs to...
