Abstract excerpt
Interferon alpha (IFN) induces variable responses in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), with 8-30% of early chronic phase cases achieving a complete cytogenetic response. We hypothesized that polymorphic differences in genes encoding IFN signal transduction components might account for different pat...
