Abstract excerpt
BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase domain mutations are the most important factor contributing to imatinib-resistance in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. We used a semi-nested reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction followed by bidirectional sequencing to detect mutations in a cohort of 110 chronic myeloid leukemia patients. In total, 34 mutations in 19 distinct codons were identified in 32 patients, of which...
