Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a malignant myeloproliferative disorder originating from a pluripotent hematopoietic stem cell that acquires a Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome encoding the BCR-ABL oncogenic fusion protein. This molecular abnormality that is thought to be causative in CML was the first acquired chromosome translocation associated with a human malignancy. This chromosomal translocation also makes it possible to precisely distinguish between residual normal (i.e., Ph-, BCR-ABL-) progenitor or stem cells and their leukemic counterpart, Ph+ or BCR-ABL+ progenitor/stem cells in every given sample of a patient with CML. This has provided seminal insights into the molecular and cellular biology of leukemia and also of the process of normal hematopoiesis. CML has become a fascinating model disease for malignancy in general.
