The BCR-ABL1 fusion gene derived from the Philadelphia chromosome, resulting from a classical translocation event t(9;22)(q34.13;q11.23), is responsible for the pathogenesis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in more than 90% of the patients.
The F- and G-actin binding region of the BCR/ABL C-terminus may be important in BCR/ABL-mediated events, and we have investigated this by expressing a C-terminus deletion mutant of the temperature-sensitive BCR/ABL PTK, in a haemopoietic progenitor cell line, which models the chronic phase of CML.
Our data support that in CML patients treated with STI571, ABL mutations are not restricted to the accelerated phase of the disease and that, at least in some cases, mutations seem to occur prior to STI571 therapy, probably as second mutational events during the course of CML.
Early detection and quantification of mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain of chimerical BCR-ABL1 gene combining high-resolution melting analysis and mutant-allele specific quantitative polymerase chain reaction.
The quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) is used in the detection of molecular events involved in leukemogenesis, such as the Bcr-Abl gene translocation, the most important factor in the pathogenesis of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML).
BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors have dramatically improved outcomes for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia, and current studies are investigating whether some patients may be able to suspend therapy yet maintain response in a state known as "treatment-free remission" (TFR).
Within the laboratory protocols, used for the study of BCR-ABL resistance mutations in chronic myeloid leukemia patients treated with Imatinib, direct sequencing remains the reference method.
The Philadelphia (Ph1) chromosome, in which the hybrid bcr-abl gene is formed, is thought to be the initial event in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by formation of the BCR-ABL fusion gene, usually as a consequence of the Philadelphia (Ph) translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22.
The relative proximity of <i>C22orf2</i> gene encoding for CBY1 to the BCR breakpoint on chromosome 22q11, whose translocation and rearrangement with the c-ABL is the causative event of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), suggested that gene haploinsufficiency may play a role in the disease pathogenesis and progression.
The Janus kinase 2 (<i>JAK2</i>) V617F mutation is common in patients with breakpoint cluster region-Abelson1 (<i>BCR-ABL1</i>)-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms, including polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia and primary myelofibrosis, but is rarely detected in <i>BCR-ABL1-</i>positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients.
No influence of BCR-ABL1 transcript types e13a2 and e14a2 on long-term survival: results in 1494 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia treated with imatinib.
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by the genetic translocation t(9;22) (q34;q11.2) encoding for the BCR-ABL fusion oncogene.
With high survival rates for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients treated with BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), emerging consequences, such as arterial ischemic events, require consideration when evaluating treatment options.
The hallmark of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1) which is caused by a translocation of the c-abl gene from chromosome 9 to the breakpoint cluster region (bcr) on chromosome 22.
It would be a useful pharmacological tool to study the TKI resistant ABLV299L mutant-mediated pathology and provide a potential precise treatment approach for this orphan CML subtype in the precision medicine era.
A thirty-five nucleotides BCR-ABL1 insertion mutation of controversial significance confers resistance to imatinib in a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).
In patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) mutations of the BCR-ABL kinase domain (KD) have been identified as the leading cause of acquired resistance to imatinib, while the mechanisms underlying the persistence of minimal residual disease (MRD) are unknown.
