March 30, 2015

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is characterized by increased and unregulated growth of myeloid cells in the bone marrow and accumulation of these cells in the blood. Most CML is caused by a chromosomal abnormality that results in a fusion between Abl tyrosine kinase and BCR gene on chromosome 2, which results in a constitutively active tyrosine kinase. Most CMLs are treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors...
