tumoral somatic mutation      
an internal tandem duplication (FLT3/ITD) is associated with poor prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), interaction with NPM1 mutations identify 3 prognostic groups: good (FLT3/ITD(-)NPM1(+)), intermediate (FLT3/ITD(-)NPM1(-) or FLT3/ITD(+)NPM1(+)), and poor (FLT3/ITD(+)NPM1(-))
constitutional       gain of function
activating mutations in FLT3 induce ligand-independent downstream signaling that promotes oncogenesis through pathways involved in proliferation, differentiation, and survival
