Conflicting data on the prognostic significance of FLT3/TKD mutations in acute myeloid leukemia might be related to the incidence of biallelic disease
Comment on
-
FLT3 D835/I836 mutations are associated with poor disease-free survival and a distinct gene-expression signature among younger adults with de novo cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia lacking FLT3 internal tandem duplications.Blood. 2008 Feb 1;111(3):1552-9. doi: 10.1182/blood-2007-08-107946. Epub 2007 Oct 16. Blood. 2008. PMID: 17940205 Free PMC article.
