Cancer Category/Type

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (also referred as (Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia)

More than 90% of patients diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia bear a Philadelphia chromosome t(9;22)(q34.1;q11.2), which is a reciprocal translocation between chromosome 22 (BCR locus) and chromosome 9 (ABL1 locus (1, also see OMIM). The Drug Imatinib mesylate, also known as Gleevec, was the one of the first molecularly developed drugs, and has a remarkably high success rate in treatment of patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (5)

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Approximately 20% of patients (25 - 30% of adult and 2 - 10% of children) diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia bear a Philadelphia chromosome t(9;22)(q34.1;q11.2), which is a reciprocal translocation between chromosome 22 (BCR locus) and chromosome 9 (ABL1 locus) (1, also see OMIM). Treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia patients with Gleevec do not have the same success as Chronic Myeloid Leukemia patients treated with Gleevec, as the genomic instability of ALL cells contribute to point mutations arising in the BRC-ABL kinase domain, leading to resistance to Gleevec (4).

Gene Overview

The function of the normal BCR gene product is as a GTPase-activating protein for RAC1 and CDC42. Promotes the exchange of RAC or CDC42-bound GDP by GTP, thereby activating them. The protein has serine/threonine kinase activity. (1)

Mention that is haas coiled coil domain and prob. aggregates as Fusion BRC-ABL1.

Common Alteration Types

BCR-ABL1

BCR-JAK2

BCR-FGFR1

BCR-PDCFRA
