## Abstract Partial tandem duplication (PTD) of the __MLL__ gene and internal tandem duplication (ITD) of the juxtamembrane region of the __FLT3__ receptor tyrosine kinase gene have been described in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, preferentially in those with normal cytogenetics. These alte
