Additional Chromosome Abnormalities, BCR-ABL Tyrosine Kinase Domain Mutations and Clinical Outcome in Hungarian Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor-Resistant Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Patients

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Additional chromosome abnormalities (ACAs), mutations of the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) and BCR-ABL splice variants may cause resistance to first- and second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL). METHODS: Karyotyping and BCR-ABL TKD mutation screening were performed in 71...
