Through integrating a drug-kinase profiling dataset and several drug response datasets, our method, DepInfeR, correctly identified known protein kinase dependencies, including the EGFR dependence of HER2+ breast cancer cell lines, the FLT3 dependence of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with FLT3-ITD mutations and the differential dependencies on the B-cell receptor pathway in the two major subtypes of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). This evidence concerns the gene FLT3 and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
