The BCR-ABL1 fusion gene is the driver oncogene in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia-chromosome positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic (ALL). introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting ABL (such as imatinib) has dramatically improved survival CML Ph+ ALL patients. However, primary acquired resistance to TKIs remains a clinical challenge. patients who achieve complete cytogenetic (CCR) or deep molecular response (MR) (≥4.5log reduction transcripts) represent...
ABSTRACT In B cells, the error-prone repair of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID)-induced lesions in immunoglobulin variable genes cause somatic hypermutation (SHM) antibody genes. Due to clonal selection germinal centers (GC) this active mutation process provides molecular basis for affinity maturation. AID deaminates cytosine (C) create uracil (U) DNA. Typically, short patch base excision (spBER) effectively restores genomic U lesions. We here demonstrate that GC cells actively...
