Abstract excerpt
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have dramatically improved the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, resistances are occasionally observed, mainly due to mutations within the BCR-ABL kinase domain. The T315I substitution confers complete resistance to TKIs commonly used in clinical practice. In the present study, we used an allele-specific quantitative-RT-PCR to perform a molecular follow-up of...
