Deletions of the CDKN2A/B tumor suppressor locus and of the IKAROS and PAX5 genes
that promote B-lineage development occur frequently in lymphoid, but not myeloid
leukemias initiated by the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase. Why is this the case, and how do these
genetic lesions contribute to an aggressive disease that fails to durably respond to targeted
kinase inhibitors?
