Ultrasensitive quantitation of FLT3-ITD mutation in patients with acute myeloid leukemia using ddPCR.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: FLT3-ITD mutations occur in 45-50% of cytogenetically normal AML patients. Conventional fragment analysis using capillary electrophoresis is routinely used to quantitate FLT3-ITD mutations. Fragment analysis however has limited sensitivity. METHODS AND RESULTS: Here, FLT3-ITD was quantified in AML patients using an in-house developed ultra-sensitive droplet digital polymerase chain reaction assay...
