Abstract excerpt
The pathognomonic genetic alteration in chronic myeloid leukemia is the formation of the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene, which produces a constitutively active tyrosine kinase that drives leukemic transformation. Targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment with imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib, bosutinib, and ponatinib is the cornerstone of modern therapy for this hematologic malignancy. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR...
