Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: BCR-ABL kinase domain (KD) mutation is the major mechanism contributing to suboptimal response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in BCR-ABL-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients. T315I mutation, as one of the most frequent KD mutations, has been shown to be strongly associated with TKI resistance and subsequent therapeutic failure. A simple and sensitive method is thus required to detect...
