1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is caused by the formation of the BCR-ABL fusion protein as a result of the t(9;22) chromosomal translocation. The elucidation of its molecular pathogenesis led to the identification of a therapeutic target and the subsequent synthesis and introduction of a small-molecule inhibitor for this target, imatinib. Because CML is the first disease successfully treated by targeted kinase...
