Correlation between the type of bcr-abl transcripts and blood cell counts in chronic myeloid leukemia – a possible influence of mdr1 gene expression

The impact of BCR-ABL mRNA type (b3a2 vs. b2a2) on chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) phenotype is still a subject of controversies. We searched for a correlation between the BCR-ABL transcripts type and CML patients’ characteristics, including MDR1 gene expression. Ninety-eight untreated chronic phase...
