FLT3-ITD allelic ratio

How much of the FLT3 gene in the leukaemia carries the internal duplication. Once used to grade risk; now less important because FLT3 inhibitors help regardless.

Ratio of mutant to wild-type FLT3-ITD alleles by fragment analysis; ≥0.5 was 'high'. ELN 2017 used it for risk; ELN 2022 removed it, treating all FLT3-ITD as intermediate risk given midostaurin and quizartinib benefit across ratios. Still reported by many labs and relevant to interpreting older trials.
