Monitoring of clonal evolution of acute myeloid leukemia identifies the leukemia subtype, clinical outcome and potential new drug targets for post-remission strategies or relapse

Esther Onecha et al.

Summary: In cases of treatment failure in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), mutational profiling can help differentiate primary refractoriness from relapse, providing insights for treatment guidance and prognostic risk assessment. Additionally, molecular follow-up using a custom NGS myeloid panel can aid in monitoring treatment response, identifying minimal residual disease markers, guiding post-remission strategies, and selecting new drugs for leukemia relapse.

Case Report: A Novel Activating FLT3 Mutation in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Samantha Bruno et al.

Summary: FLT3 is a common driver gene in AML, accounting for approximately 30% of cases. A novel in-frame deletion in the JM domain of FLT3 gene was discovered, which is sensitive to midostaurin.

Deletions in FLT-3 juxtamembrane domain define a new class of pathogenic mutations: case report and systematic analysis

David J. Young et al.

Summary: FLT-3 is the most frequently mutated gene in AML, and FLT-3/Q575 Delta is a novel activating mutation that can be targeted by existing FLT-3 TKIs. Additionally, Y572 Delta, E573 Delta, and S574 Delta in FLT-3's JMD are also activating mutations that can be targeted. This study highlights the importance of systematic understanding of FLT-3 mutations beyond ITD, as more activating mutations may be discovered with the increasing use of NGS in AML diagnosis.
