Background The reciprocal (9;22) translocation fuses the bcr (breakpoint cluster region) gene on chromosome 22 to the abl (Abelson-leukemia-virus) gene on chromosome 9.

Genetic fusions favor tumorigenesis through degron loss in oncogenes
Chromosomal rearrangements can generate genetic fusions composed of two distinct gene sequences, many of which have been implicated in tumorigenesis and progression.

Intrinsic structural disorder confers cellular viability on oncogenic fusion proteins. [PDF]
Chromosomal translocations, which often generate chimeric proteins by fusing segments of two distinct genes, represent the single major genetic aberration leading to cancer.

A dual origin for Bcr-Abl gene translocation/fusion as dynamics of synergism of the hematopoietic stem cell and hemangioblast in chronic myeloid leukemia [PDF]
Contextual BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase over-activity determines in formulated fashion the emergence of proliferation and anti-apoptosis that arise largely as derived phenomena of otherwise homeostatic mechanisms of the c-ABL gene within hematopoietic ...

Epigenetic dysregulation in chronic myeloid leukaemia: A myriad of mechanisms and therapeutic options [PDF]
The onset of global epigenetic changes in chromatin that drive tumor proliferation and heterogeneity is a hallmark of many forms cancer. Identifying the epigenetic mechanisms that govern these changes and developing therapeutic approaches to modulate ...

Activation of tyrosine kinases by mutation of the gatekeeper threonine. [PDF]
Protein kinases targeted by small-molecule inhibitors develop resistance through mutation of the gatekeeper threonine residue of the active site. Here we show that the gatekeeper mutation in the cellular forms of c-ABL, c-SRC, platelet-derived growth ...

Detection of derivative 9 deletion by BCR-ABL fluorescence in-situ hybridization signal pattern to evaluate treatment response in CML patients [PDF]
Background: To evaluate prognostic effect of submicroscopic deletions involving breakage and fusion points of the derivative chromosome 9 and 22 in chronic myeloid leukemia in untreated patients and their follow up samples to correlate with disease ...
