Dysregulation of tyrosine kinases (TKs) may play a role in leukemogenesis by promoting survival and proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. In AML, the main TKs mutations are produced in Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3), KIT and Janus kinase (JAK) genes, and with less frequency in BCR-ABL. The striking results with TK Inhibitors (TKIs) therapy in BCR-ABL1 chronic myeloid leukemias has paved the way...
