Association of BCR/ABL transcript variants with different blood parameters and demographic features in Iraqi chronic myeloid leukemia patients
Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by the presence of BCR-ABL fusion gene (GenBank accession NC_000022.11). In the vast majority of CML patients, the typical subtype of BCR-ABL transcript are b3a2, b2a2 or both. The aim of this study was to determine the different subtypes of BCR-ABL transcript and their impact on the demographic and hematological parameters in Iraqi patients with CML.
