Abstract:
Objectives To study the FLT3 gene expression and its internal tandem duplication(ITD) mutation in acute nonlymphoblastic leukemia(ANLL) patients.Method Polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the FLT3/ITD mutation in 71 ANLL patients.Results The expression of FLT3 gene were detected in 65/71(91 5%) ANLL cases and ITD mutation was found in 17 cases. 23 9% of ANLL cases were found with FLT3/ITD mutation. The leucocyte count and the percentage of bone marrow blast cells were higher in ANLL patient with FLT3/ITD mutation than that in the ANLL patient without FLT3/ITD mutation (P
