What is imatinib resistance test?

Imatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used to treat patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML)

Imatinib has provided patients with significantly better results and fewer side effects than other available therapies.

Even in the best responders, however, some BCR-ABL1 positive cells usually persist.

Why it is done?

The Classical Philadelphia chromosome, t (9;22), is a CML diagnostic marker (q34; q11)

This causes the N-terminal region of the BCR gene to fuse with the C-terminal kinase domain of the ABL1 gene. The fusion results in the production of an active chimeric protein kinase, which is responsible for leukemogenesis in CML.

Imatinib-treated CML patients are monitored with quantitative RT-PCR, and patients with a log increase in quantitative BCR-ABL1 transcript levels should be tested for the presence of Imatinib-resistance mutations.
