Chronic myelocytic or Ph1-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemias have been analyzed for alterations in a variety of proto-oncogenes and anti-oncogenes implicated in the progression of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) from its chronic phase to blast crisis. The most frequent genetic change found in disease evolution is an alteration of the p53 gene involving a point mutation, a rearrangement or a deletion. These...
