namely chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).1 In 1973 the Ph chromosome was identified as one partner in a reciprocal chromosomal translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22—t(9;22)(q34;qll).2 The translocation results in the formation of two hybrid genes—BCR/ABL on the Ph chromosome and ABL...
Standardized monitoring of BCR::ABL1 mRNA levels is essential for the management of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients. From 2016 to 2021 the European Treatment and Outcome Study for CML (EUTOS) explored the use of secondary, lyophilized cell-based
Background: In the current ELN recommendations (Baccarani et al., Blood 2013) the optimal time point to achieve major molecular remission (MMR) is defined at 12 months after diagnosis of CML. MMR is not a failure criterion at any time point leading to uncertainties when to change therapy ...
Cytogenetics in Leukaemia Chromosomal changes play an important role in the diagnosis of leukaemia. The first acquired abnormality to be described was the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) in chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) by Nowell and Hungerford in 1960. In 1973, it was identified to arise from a...

Therefore, regardless of the treatment received, the risk of CML-related death is approximately 6% in the HR group, 1.98% in the IR group, and only 0.35% in the LR group. The ELTS risk score at diagnosis discriminates survival probabilities very well in both treatment cohorts: in the ...
The deregulated tyrosine kinase activity of BCR-ABL is necessary and sufficient to induce chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). This observation has paved th
occurring somatic mutations in genes associated with epigenetic regulation, transcriptional control and splicing of RNA are variably but recurrently identified across the MPN disease spectrum, whilst epigenetic contributors to disease are increasingly recognised. The prognostic implications of one MPN diagnosis...
The most common clinical scenarios leading to diagnosis of mastocytosis are as follows. 1) A child or an adult patient presents with a cutaneous rash diagnosed as urticaria pigmentosa, the characteristic skin finding of mastocytosis. 2) A patient exhibits an unexplained abnormality in complete blood...
