Low frequency of exon 3 PTPN11 mutations in adult de novo acute myeloid leukemia. Analysis of a consecutive series of 173 patients

Haematologica. 2005 Mar;90(3):412-3.

Abstract

A total of 173 samples obtained from adult patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) were assayed for exon 3 PTPN11 mutations by single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis and direct sequencing. Only three monocytic leukemias had point mutations (1.73%).
