Background Additional chromosomal aberrations in Philadelphia chromosome-positive
chronic myeloid leukemia are non-random and strongly associated with disease
progression, but their prognostic impact and effect on treatment response is not clear. Point
mutations in the BCR-ABL kinase domain are probably the most common mechanisms of
imatinib resistance.
Abstract
Background
Additional chromosomal aberrations in Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia are non-random and strongly associated with disease progression, but their prognostic impact and effect on treatment response is not clear. Point mutations in the BCR-ABL kinase domain are probably the most common mechanisms of imatinib resistance.
