High Expression of c-kit mRNA Predicts Unfavorable Outcome in Adult Patients with t(8;21) Acute Myeloid Leukemia
The reason that a certain subgroup of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with t(8;21) translocation (generating the AML1/ETO fusion gene) displays a poor survival remains elusive. The proto-oncogene c-kit is expressed in approximately 80% of AML cases. The kinase domain mutation of the c-kit gene...
