85100-6
LaboratoryFLT3 gene internal tandem duplication [Presence] in Bone marrow by Molecular genetics method
Definition
Detection of an FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutation in bone marrow 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.
