To elucidate whether these mutations cause aberrant signal transduction in AML, we used gene expression profiling in a series of 110 newly diagnosed AML patients with normal karyotype. The different algorithms used for data analysis revealed highly concordant sets of genes, indicating that the identified gene signatures are specific for each analysed subgroup. Whereas samples with FLT3-ITD and FLT3-TKD could be separated with up to 100\% accuracy, this did not apply for NRAS-PM and wild-type samples, suggesting that only FLT3-ITD and FLT3-TKD are associated with an apparent signature in AML. The set of discriminating genes included several known genes, which are involved in cell cycle control (CDC14A, WEE1), gene transcription (HOXB5, FOXA1), and signal transduction (SMG1). In conclusion, we showed that unique gene expression patterns can be correlated with FLT3-ITD and FLT3-TKD. This might lead to the identification of further pathogenetic relevant candidate genes particularly in AML with normal karyotype.
