Abstract excerpt
The expansion of a leukemia clone bearing a Bcr-Abl kinase domain mutation is associated with acquired resistance to imatinib and may also predict disease progression in patients with Philadelphia-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Here we report results of pyrosequencing to quantitate the non-mutated and mutant alleles in 12 CML patients monitored over periods ranging from 11 to 58 months, and describe...
