چکیده
introduction: about half of acute myeloid leukemia (aml) adult patients have no cytogenetic abnormalities as a main determinant of complete remission after treatment, so other markers are needed such as flt3-itd (fms-like tyrosine kinase3-internal tandem duplication) mutations in patients with normal karyotype. the objective of this study was assessing the frequency of flt3-itd mutations and its relation with complete remission in different fab (french- american- british) and cytogenetic subgroups of aml patients who had been hospitalized at tehran imam khomeini hospital, hematology ward. methods: the current study, was a cross sectional descriptive study which was performed during the years 2007-2008. population frame were consecutive patients whose diseases were confirmed and who had been hospitalized in tehran imam khomeini hospital, hematology ward. contemporary, flowcytometry, cytogenetic and chromosomal studies were performed for the cytogenetic subgroup assessment and to investigate the presence of flt3-itd mutation. finally, complete remission achievement after induction chemotherapy were assessed. the obtained data was entered onto the information forms and analyzed by statistical tests. results: out of 40 patients who participated in this study, 18 (45%) were female and 22 (55%) were male. the median age of the patients with mutation was 33 years of age, and the ones without mutation were 39.5. m1, m2and m 4 fab subgroups, with respectively 60, 37.5 and 35.7%, had the most occurrence of mutation. there was no significant relationship between mutation and the fab subgroups (p=0.45). favorable, intermediate and adverse cytogenetic risk groups had respectively 10, 37 and 66.7% mutations and 69.2% of the patients were in the normal karyotype group. seventeen (42.5%) of the 40 patients achieved complete remission. 17.6% of them had mutations. there was no relationship between mutation and complete remission (p=0.085). conclusion: there was no relationship between thepresence offlt3-itd mutation and complete remission achievement following chemotherapy.

Activating internal tandem duplication mutations of the fms-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3-ITD) at complete response and relapse in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) mutations are among the most frequent molecular aberrations in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. We retrospectively analyzed 324 patients with acute myeloid leukemia treated with front-line induction chemotherapy between October 2004 and March 2010. Fifty-six patients had FLT3-ITD mutation at diagnosis. Fifty-one (91%) patien...

Correspondence To the Editor: Sorafenib is a novel, orally available inhibitor of multiple kinases. It has been used in relapsed and refractory FMS‑like tyrosine kinase (FLT)‑3‑positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in recent years with favorable outcomes. Thyroiditis and hypothyroidism as side effects have been reported in treatment on renal cell cancer. [1] Here, we report a case of FLT3‑inter...

Background and Aim: FLT3 gene is a member of class III receptor Tyrosine Kinase, which is expressed in most patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Mutations of FLT3 such as Internal Tandem Duplication (ITD) and point mutation of the D835 are the most common genetic defects in myeloid leukemia. These two mutations in patients with MLA and their effect on survival rate were studied for the f...

Cytogenetic and FMS-Like Tyrosine Kinase 3 Mutation Analyses in Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Patients
Background: The secondary genetic changes other than the promyelocytic leukemia-retinoic acid receptor (PML-RARA) fusion gene may contribute to the acute promyelocytic leukemogenesis. Chromosomal alterations and mutation of FLT3 (FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3) tyrosine kinase receptor are the frequent genetic alterations in acute myeloid leukemia. However, the prognostic significance of FLT3 mutat...
