Abstract
BACKGROUND: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal myeloproliferative disorder with heterogeneous biological and clinical features. The biomolecular mechanisms of CML response to tyrosine-kinase inhibitors are not fully defined.
OBJECTIVE: We undertook a gene expression profiling (GEP) study of selected bone marrow (BM) CD34+/lin- cells of chronic-phase CML patients at diagnosis and after 12 months of TKI nilotinib to investigate molecular signatures characterizing both conditions.
