The diagnosis of AML requires the identification of 20% or more leukemic blasts in the bone marrow. Further analysis then must separate AML from acute lymphoblastic leukemia by showing evidence for commitment to the myeloid lineage.
Conclusion: there was no difference of BCR-ABL transcript level among sokal prognostic score risk groups in chronic phase CML patients treated with Imatinib. Key words: CML, Imatinib, Sokal prognostic score, BCR-ABL/G6PDH transcript.INTRODUCTION Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is the first malignancy associated with a specific chromosome abnormality with an annual incidence of 1 to 2 cases per 100.000 per year and a median onset in the fifth or sixth decade of life.t the time of diagnosis, the characteristic of subject in this study was based on Sokal prognostic risk clasification can be seen in Table 1 Table 2). The rates of major MR were 1 (10% of low risk group), 1 (8.3%), and 1 (5.5%) in low-, intermediate-, and high-risk group patients, respectively (Table 3).
