Overview

NCI Definition: A chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by the expression of the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene. It presents with neutrophilic leukocytosis. It can appear at any age, but it mostly affects middle aged and older individuals. Patients usually present with fatigue, weight loss, anemia, night sweats, and splenomegaly. If untreated, it follows a biphasic or triphasic natural course; an initial indolent chronic phase which is followed by an accelerated phase, a blast phase, or both. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation and tyrosine kinase inhibitors delay disease progression and prolong overall survival. [1]

Chronic myeloid leukemias most frequently harbor alterations in ABL1, BCR, ASXL1, TET2, and RUNX1 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

BCR-ABL1 Fusion, BCR Fusion, ABL1-BCR Fusion, ABL1 Fusion, and ABL1 Mutation are the most common alterations in chronic myeloid leukemia [2].
