A novel BCR-ABL1 fusion gene identified by next-generation sequencing in chronic myeloid leukemia
16 Jun 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: BCR-ABL1 fusion proteins contain constitutively active tyrosine kinases that are potential candidates for targeted therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as imatinib in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, uncharacterized BCR-ABL1 fusion genes can be missed by quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR)-based routine screening methods, causing adverse effect on drug selection and treatment outcome. CASE...
