D276G mutation is associated with a poor prognosis in imatinib mesylate-resistant chronic myeloid leukemia patients

Leukemia volume 19, pages 2332–2333 (2005)Cite this article

TO THE EDITOR

In Leukemia (January 2005),1 Dr Piazza reported a BCR-ABL mutation D276G by sequencing the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase (TK) domain of Ph+ leukemic cells from 14 imatinib-resistant patients. The mutation was associated with aggressive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), while in vitro functional analysis using mutants demonstrated moderated resistance.
