High resolution melting curve analysis, a rapid and affordable method for mutation analysis in childhood acute myeloid leukemia

Background: Molecular genetic alterations with prognostic significance have been described in childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The aim of this study was to establish cost-effective techniques to detect mutations of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3), Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1), and a partial tande...
