NPM1 mutations are more stable than FLT3 mutations during the course of disease in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

چکیده
NPM1 mutations have been reported to be the most frequent mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). They are associated with a wide spectrum of morphologic subtypes of AML, normal karyotype and FLT3 mutations. The high frequency of NPM1 mutations might provide a suitable marker for monitoring residual disease of AML.

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 کاملCytogenetic 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...

متن کاملComparison of Delta- PCR and Conventional Fragment Analysis for the Detection of FLT3-ITD Mutations in Paired Diagnosis-Relapse Samples of Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia
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:...

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...
