BCR-ABL Transcripts - CML - Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
''Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by the presence of BCR-ABL1 fusion gene. In over 95% of CML patients, the typical BCR-ABL1 transcript subtypes are e13a2 (b2a2), e14a2 (b3a2) or expression of both simultaneously. Other less frequent transcript subtypes, such as e1a2, e2a2, e6a2, e19a2, e1a3, e13a3 and e14a3, have been sporadically reported.1 Different subtypes of BCR-ABL1 transcripts encode fusion proteins with different sizes that may lead to different disease phenotypes. The e13a2 and e14a2 transcripts encode P210 BCR-ABL1 proteins with slightly different sizes. Patients with the e14a2 transcript have a significantly higher platelet count than those with the e13a2 transcript.2, 3, 4 Patients with the e19a2 transcript, which encodes P230, often present with prominent neutrophilic maturation or thrombocytosis, whereas patients with the e1a2 transcript, which encodes P190, often present with monocytosis, absence of basophilia and a tendency to progress to lymphoid blast phase (BP).5, ""
