  • Abstract

    Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is characterized by the overproduction of BCR-ABL, a tyrosine kinase with constitutive activity, in which the majority of CML patients have e13a2 or e14a2 transcripts. Reckoned the possible associations between the hematologic and molecular features of the disease, a profound understanding of different aspects of this neoplasm would be provided.
