The Impact of FLT3 Mutations on the Development of Acute Myeloid Leukemias.

The development of the genetic studies on acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs) has led to the identification of some recurrent genetic abnormalities. Their discovery was of fundamental importance not only for a better understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of AMLs, but also for the identification of new therapeutic targets. In this context, it is essential to identify AML-associated "driver" mutations, which have a causative role in leukemogenesis. Evidences accumulated during the last years indicate that activating internal tandem duplication mutations in FLT3 (FLT3-ITD), detected in about 20% of AMLs, represents driver mutations and valid therapeutic targets in AMLs. Furthermore, the screening of FLT3-ITD mutations has also considerably helped to improve the identification of more accurate prognostic criteria and of the therapeutic selection of patients.
