Abstract excerpt
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by the breakpoint cluster region (BCR)-Abelson murine leukemia (ABL1) fusion gene. In approximately 1% of CML cases, the Philadelphia chromosome associated with the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene is not present, and the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene is generated by cryptic insertion or sequential translocations. In this study, we describe the cytogenetic and molecular features of five...
