Association of BCR/ABL transcript variants with different blood parameters and demographic features in Iraqi chronic myeloid leukemia patients
ConclusionsThe testified Iraqi group expressed M ‐BCR ‐ABL type with preponderance of b3a2 over b2a2 subtype. There was a gender ‐skewed distribution inBCR ‐ABL transcript types with b3a2 transcript more prevalent in males. The type ofBCR ‐ABL transcript is reflected by different leukocyte and platelet counts at diagnosis, which might represent a distinct phenotype and disease biology.
