Abstract excerpt
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients carry in 27% of cases an activating mutation of the fms-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) gene: internal tandem duplication (ITD) or tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) point mutation. The simultaneous presence of both types of mutations, so-called FLT3 dual mutations, has been reported in 2% of APL, but this circumstance has never been studied. We studied a cohort of 74 APL...
