FLT3 and acute myeloid leukemia: FLT3 mutations can be found in patients suffering from acute myeloid leukaemias (AMLs) and B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemias (ALLs) and cause uncontrolled receptor activation, constitutive FLT3 signalling and as a result, activation of the STAT4, RAS/MAPK and PI3K pathways important for cell division, apoptosis and cell formation[20].
