flt3-itd incidence and flt-d835 mutations in acute myeloid leukemia patients with normal karyotype in morocco: a preliminary study
نویسندگان
چکیده
background :according to numerous studies, fms-like tyrosine kinase 3, internal tandem duplication, and the d835 mutation are associated with a poor prognostic clinical outcome in acute myeloid leukemia patients. detection of the fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 mutation in patients who present with normal karyotype acute myeloid leukemia helps in both the understanding of the disease and the treatment of patients. this study evaluates the incidence of fms-like tyrosine kinase 3-internal tandem duplication and fms-like tyrosine kinase 3-d835 mutation in newly diagnosed patients with normal karyotype acute myeloid leukemia. methods : this study looked at 33 new cases who presented with normal karyotype acute myeloid leukemia at diagnosis. we collected peripheral blood samples from patients at diagnosis. fms-like tyrosine kinase 3-internal tandem duplication mutation was detected using polymerase chain reaction and fms-like tyrosine kinase 3-d835 mutation by restriction fragment length polymorphism after polymerase chain reaction. results : fms-like tyrosine kinase 3-internal tandem duplication mutation was found in 18% (6/33) of all patients and in 30% (6/20) of patients over 30 years of age. fms- like tyrosine kinase 3-internal tandem duplication mutation was most common with m2 (50%), m5 (33.3%), and m0 (16.7%). fms-like tyrosine kinase 3-d835 mutation was detected in one patient (3%) that had m2. no significant association was found between fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 mutation and age, sex, white blood cell count, platelets, or blasts percentage. conclusion :most of fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 mutations were found in patients older than 30 years. the frequency observed in this work is comparable with that observed in the literature. no pediatric case of fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 mutation was found in this study. a large scale study is needed to confirm our findings and to further appreciate the prognostic value of fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 mutation among moroccan patients.

Evaluation of the CD123 Expression and FLT3 Gene Mutations in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Background and Objective: Identification of cytogenetic and molecular changes plays an important role in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Thus, they are used in classification, prognosis and treatment of the disease. The CD123 expression and FLT3 gene mutations are also the variations that may assist in prognosis and treatment of patients with AML.Methods:</...
متن کاملIncidence and prognostic value of FLT3 internal tandem duplication and D835 mutations in acute myeloid leukemia.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Cytogenetics is the most important prognostic factor in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, a high proportion of patients show normal or intermediate-risk karyotypes. In these patients, other determinants could help to identify those with a higher risk of relapse. Recently, internal tandem duplications (ITD) and D835 mutations in FLT3 tyrosine kinase receptor have b...
متن کاملFrequency of FLT3 ITD and FLT3 TKD Mutations in Multiple Myeloma Patients (A Case Control Study)
Background and Aims: Multiple myeloma is a malignant proliferation of plasma cells derived from a single clone. The tumor, its products and the host response lead to organ damages. Some factors that are responsible in its pathogenesis are recognized. As FMS like Tyrosine Kinase 3 receptor (FLT3) mutation has been proved as a determining factor in leukemic patients the goal of this study was to ...

متن کاملPrognostic significance of the FLT3 ITD mutation in patients with normal-karyotype acute myeloid leukemia in relapse
BACKGROUND Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3 ITD) mutation is related to poor prognosis in normal-karyotype acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the prognostic significance of the mutation at relapse has not been adequately investigated. We investigated the prognostic significance of the FLT3 ITD mutation at relapse in normal-karyotype AML patients. METHODS We ana...

Background & Objective: FLT3-ITD mutation detection has been an integral part of diagnostic work ups focused on acute myeloid leukemia. However, some studies have indicated that the mutation is unstable during the various stages of the disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stability of this marker in paired diagnosis-relapse samples using Delta-PCR method. Materials & Methods:...
