Cytogenetic and Molecular Genetic Aspects of Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is caused by the product of the BCR-ABL oncogene, located on the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome. BCR-ABL is generated as a result of a reciprocal t(9;22) chromosomal translocation. The mechanisms responsible for this illegitimate recombination event remain elusive but are presumed to require a close spatial association of the translocation partners (chromosomes 9 and 22). BCR-ABL...
