The objective of this study was to characterize the ABL1-BCR fusion gene in 76 BCR-ABL1-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients regarding expression as well as genomic status, to assess the frequency of ABL1-BCR gene deletion in these patients, which has been reported to be an adverse progn

Chimeric bcr/abl fusion proteins are thought to be the molecular 'pathogen' of chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML). Expression levels of the respective fusion RNAs reflect disease progression as well as remission upon therapeutic intervention in CML patients. However, there is no quick and reliable
## Abstract Jab1, a coβactivator of APβ1 transcription factor and the fifth subunit of the COP9 signalosome, mediates degradation of the tumor suppressor p53 and p27^Kip1^ and functions as a tumor promoter in different types of human cancer. In this study, we show that inhibition of BcrβAbl oncogen
