Abstract excerpt
In patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), resistance against imatinib is associated with mutations in the kinase domain (KD) of the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene and/or with additional chromosomal abnormalities (ACAs) secondary to the Philadelphia chromosome. To evaluate associations between these molecular and cytogenetic events, we correlated cytogenetic data with results of KD mutation analysis in 205 CML...
