p185(BCR/ABL) has a lower sensitivity than p210(BCR/ABL) to the allosteric inhibitor GNF-2 in Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphatic leukemia [PDF]
Background: The t(9;22) translocation leads to the formation of the chimeric breakpoint cluster region/c-abl oncogene 1 (BCR/ABL) fusion gene on der22, the Philadelphia chromosome.

Identification of Bruton's tyrosine kinase as a therapeutic target in acute myeloid leukemia [PDF]
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a cytoplasmic protein found in all hematopoietic cell lineages except for T cells. BTK mediates signalling downstream of a number of receptors.

Occurrence of chronic lymphocytic leukemia in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia of adults in the western world and constitutes about 33% of all leukemia′s. The incidence of CLL increases with age and are more common in older population.

Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia After Relapse of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: A Case Report
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is one of the differential diagnoses for anemia in patients with lymphoproliferative neoplasia, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia, who experience sudden drop in hemoglobin.

Deletions of the derivative chromosome 9 occur at the time of the Philadelphia translocation and provide a powerful and independent prognostic indicator in chronic myeloid leukemia [PDF]
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by formation of the BCR-ABL fusion gene, usually as a consequence of the Philadelphia (Ph) translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22.

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in 2007 [PDF]
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a hematopoietic stem cell cancer representing 15-20% of adult leukemias, is discussed. Epidemiology, staging biology, and monitoring techniques are reviewed.CML is a myeloproliferative disorder that affects all lineages of hematopoiesis.

Resistance to the BCR-ABL inhibitor imatinib mesylate poses a major problem for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia. Imatinib resistance often results from a secondary mutation in BCR-ABL that interferes with drug binding.

Targeting self-renewal pathways in myeloid malignancies [PDF]
A fundamental property of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is the ability to self-renew. This is a complex process involving multiple signal transduction cascades which control the fine balance between self-renewal and differentiation through ...
