## 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

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Recently, an internal tandem duplication of the __FLT3__ gene (__FLT3__/ITD) was found in approximately 20% of adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases and associated with a poor outcome. However, there are few studies on __FLT3__/ITD in childhood AML, and the clinical si
## Background. Recently, an internal tandem duplication of the FLT3 gene (FLT3/ITD) was found in 20% of adult cases of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), and this length abnormality was suggested to be associated with leukemic progression. Procedure. We examined the mRNA expression of the FLT3 gene
