A number of potential pathways and targets have been identified for development in AML, and include, but are not limited to, Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) and isocitrate dehydrogenases resulting from genetic mutations, BCL2 family members, various signaling kinases and histone deacetylases, as well as tumor-associated antigens (such as CD13, CD33, P-gp). This evidence concerns the gene BCL2 and acute myeloid leukemia.
