Prognostic value of IDH1 mutations identified with PCR-RFLP assay in acute myeloid leukemia patients

Background: Somatic mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) gene occur frequently in primary brain tumors. Recently theses mutations were demonstrated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). So far, assessment of these mutations relied on the DNA sequencing technique. Aim of the work: The aim of thi...
