## 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
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. The poor prognosis for elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) raises questions regarding the benefit of treating them with intensive chemotherapy. The impact of initial characteristics on prognosis has been addressed previously in elderly patients; however, v
## 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
The therapeutic response and survival after the onset of the acute crisis in 64 patients with Phipositive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) were correlated with the chromosomal findings during the course ofthe acute phase. The patients were divided into three groups on the basis ofthe chromosome findin
## Abstract In this study, we analysed the prognostic relevance of foetal liver tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutations in 73 patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) with normal karyotype, who survived induction and consolidation and received autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) after success
