79210-1
LaboratoryFLT3 gene internal tandem duplication [Presence] in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
Definition
Detection of an FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutation for the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The FLT3 wild type alleles produce a fragment that is approximately 327 +/-1 base pair (bp), while alleles containing an ITD mutation will produces a fragment that is approximately >=330 bp.
