Clinical and genetic studies of ETV6/ABL1‐positive chronic myeloid leukaemia in blast crisis treated with imatinib mesylate
20 Jun 2003
Abstract excerpt
Most chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) patients are genetically characterized by the t(9;22)(q34;q11), generating the BCR/ABL1 fusion gene. However, a few CML patients with rearrangements of 9q34 and 12p13, leading to ETV6/ABL1 chimaeras, have also been reported. Here we describe the clinical and genetic response to imatinib mesylate treatment of an ETV6/ABL1-positive CML patient diagnosed in blast crisis (BC). A...
