Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To identify the relationship between the pathogenesis of leukemia and Flt3 gene by detecting the mutations in juxtamembrane domain coded by Flt3. METHODS:We tested exons14,15 of Flt3 gene using PCR,PCR-SSCP and gene sequence in 60 leukeamia patients’ bone marrow samples. RESULTS:8 Flt3-ITD mutations,another 3 Flt3-L576P point mutations were found in juxtamembrane domain in 60 patients,including 1 patient with a deletion of intron 14. CONCLUSION:Flt3-L576P is a new point mutation site,which might be associated with the pathogenesis and development of leukemia.

Key words: Flt3, leukemia, juxtamembrane domain, mutation
