Abstract excerpt
Resistance to chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) drug STI571 has been associated with point mutations in the kinase domain of BCR-ABL. For example, the mutation T315I (g. 68721C>T) and, to a lesser extent, Y253F (g. 58796A>T) appear in a significant proportion of patients resistant to treatment. Mutations appear intimately related to the development of resistance, and they may pre-exist in a small percentage (<1%) of...
