A constitutively active SPTBN1-FLT3 fusion in atypical chronic myeloid leukemia is sensitive to tyrosine kinase inhibitors and immunotherapy.

TLDR
Although FLT3 abnormalities are uncommon in aCML, SPTBN1-FLT3 is a novel constitutively active tyrosine kinase that appears to responsive to both targeted signal transduction therapy and immunotherapy.

Myeloid neoplasms with eosinophilia

TL;DR: Myeloid mutation panels have identified somatic variants in patients with a provisional diagnosis of hypereosinophilia of undetermined significance, reclassifying some of these cases as eos inophilia-associated neoplasms.

ETV6 fusion genes in hematological malignancies: a review.

TL;DR: Five potential mechanisms of ETV6-mediated leukemogenesis have been identified: constitutive activation of the kinase activity of the partner protein, modification of the original functions of a transcription factor, loss of function of the fusion gene, and activation of a proto-oncogene in the vicinity of a chromosomal translocation.

ABL1 fusion genes in hematological malignancies: a review.

TL;DR: Screening for A BL1 chimeric genes could be performed in patients with ALL, more particularly in those with T‐cell ALL because ABL1 modulates T‐ cell development and plays a role in cytoskeletal remodeling processes in T cells.

FMS-like Tyrosine Kinase 3/FLT3: From Basic Science to Clinical Implications

TL;DR: Current knowledge regarding structural and functional aspects of FLT3 signaling, both under normal and pathological conditions, are provided, and challenges for the future regarding the use of targeted inhibition of these pathways for the treatment of patients are discussed.

Activating mutation of D835 within the activation loop of FLT3 in human hematologic malignancies.

TL;DR: Analysis of the mutation of D835 of FLT3, which corresponds to D816 of c-KIT, in a large series of human hematologic malignancies demonstrates that the FLT 3 gene is the target most frequently mutated to become constitutively active in AML.

Inhibition of mutant FLT3 receptors in leukemia cells by the small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor PKC412.

TL;DR: KPC412 is a potent inhibitor of mutant FLT3 and is a candidate for testing as an antileukemia agent in AML patients with mutantFLT3 receptors.
