Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has significantly improved the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, approximately one third of patients are resistant to TKI and/or progress to advanced disease stages. TKI therapy failure has a well-known association with ABL1 kinase domain (KD) mutations, but only around half of TKI non-responders have detectable ABL1 KD mutations....
