This review article classifies chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) based on cytogenetic analyses and different mutations detected in CML patients. The use of advanced technologies, such as karyotyping, fluorescent in situ hybridization, and comparative genomic hybridization, has allowed us to study CML in detail and observe the different biochemical changes that occur in different CML types. This review also highlights the different types of receptor and signaling pathway mutations that occur in CML.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
