Somatic mutations in WT1 are detected in considerable number of patients with acute leukemia and often co-occur with other genetic alterations, for instance internal tandem duplications of the fms related receptor tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3-ITD) gene or mutations in CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (CEBPA) in adult AML [19,20]. This evidence concerns the gene CEBPA and acute myeloid leukemia.
