Abstract

Background Imatinib is the standard of care for treating chronic myelogeneous leukemia (CML). However, it is rarely curative and patients often show resistance to the drug. ABL-kinase domain mutations are one mechanism of resistance in CML. Regulation of hematopoietic stem cell survival, as well as disease progression in CML has been linked to the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. Our study investigated the expression of beta-catenin in the bone marrow (BM) of CML patients treated with imatinib as well as its possible application as a prognostic marker for response to therapy.
