ITDetect: a method to detect internal tandem duplication of FMS-like tyrosine kinase (FLT3) from next-generation sequencing data with high sensitivity and clinical application
Abstract Internal tandem duplication (ITD) of Collections the FMS-like tyrosine kinase (FLT3) gene is associated with poor clinical outcomes in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.Although recent methods for detecting FLT3-ITD from next-generation sequencing (NGS) data have replaced traditional ITD detection approaches such as conventional PCR or
