Genomic characterization of Imatinib resistance in CD34+ cell populations from chronic myeloid leukaemia patients
2011
Abstract To ascertain genomic alterations associated with Imatinib resistance in chronic myeloid leukaemia, we performed high resolution genomic analysis of CD34 + cells from 25 Imatinib (IM) resistant and 11 responders CML patients. Using patients’ T-cells as reference, we found significant association between number of acquired cryptic copy number alterations (CNA) and disease phase ( p = 0.036) or loss of IM response for patients diagnosed in chronic phase (CP) ( p = 0.04). Recurrent cryptic losses were identified on chromosomes 7, 12 and 13. On chromosome 7, recurrent deletions of the IKZF1 locus were detected, for the first time, in 4 patients in CP.
