Abstract Text

Alterations of FLT3 are among the most common driver events in acute leukaemia with important clinical implications, since it allows patient classification into prognostic groups and the possibility of personalising therapy thanks to the availability of FLT3 inhibitors. Most of the knowledge on FLT3 implications comes from the study of acute myeloid leukaemia and so far, few studies have been performed in other leukaemias.A comprehensive genomic (DNA-seq in 267 patients) and transcriptomic (RNA-seq in 160 patients) analysis of FLT3 in 342 childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) patients was performed. Mutations were functionally characterised by in vitro experiments.Point mutations (PM) and internal tandem duplications (ITD) were detected in 4.3% and 2.7% of the patients, respectively. A new activating mutation of the TKD, G846D, conferred oncogenic properties and sorafenib resistance. Moreover, a novel alteration involving the circularisation of read-through transcripts (rt-circRNAs) was observed in 10% of the cases. Patients presenting FLT3 alterations exhibited higher levels of the receptor. In addition, patients with ZNF384- and MLL/KMT2A-rearranged ALL, as well as hyperdiploid subtype, overexpressed FLT3.Our results suggest that specific ALL subgroups may also benefit from a deeper understanding of the biology of FLT3 alterations and their clinical implications.

Filtering

Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
Use simple literal full or partial string matches
Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

Gene	Variant	Impact	Protein Effect	Variant Description	Associated with drug Resistance
FLT3	G846D	missense	gain of function	FLT3 G846D lies within the protein kinase domain of the Flt3 protein (UniProt.org). G846D confers a gain of function to Flt3 as demonstrated by IL3-independent growth and increased Stat5 phosphorylation in cultured cells (PMID: 38049555).
FLT3	Y589D	missense	no effect - predicted	FLT3 Y589D lies within the juxtamembrane domain of the Flt3 protein (PMID: 14759363). Y589D results in Stat5 phosphorylation similar to wild-type Flt3 and does not support IL3-independent growth in cultured cells (PMID: 38049555), and therefore, is predicted to have no effect on Flt3 protein function.
