The WHO classification of AML includes many specific chromosomal abnormalities determined by karyotyping (11). The gene mutations recognized as specific entities by the 2016 WHO classification include NPM1, CEBPA, and RUNX1 mutations.

This evidence concerns the gene FLT3 and acute myeloid leukemia.
