CML name

A

chronic myelogenous leukemia

chronic granulocytic leukemia

75
Q

CML characteristic

A

Ph1

Philadelphia chromosome

76
Q

how many percent of patients with CML have Ph1 chromosome?

77
Q

in a normal individual, where are ABL and BCR gene found respectively?

A

ABL - long arm of chromosome 9

BCR - long arm of chromosome 22

78
Q

in patients with CML, what happens to his/her chromosome 9 and 22?

A

long arm of C9 with ABL gene translocates with BCR gene in long arm of C22 therefore producing BCR-ABL fusion gene in long arm of C22/ Philadelphia chromosome
