Clinical spectrum and treatment response in patient of chronic myeloid leukemia in correlation with ABO blood group.

Background: Several studies have been conducted to evaluate and investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying alterations in ABO blood group antigens in oncogenesis. We observed that no study has been reported yet that correlate cytological, molecular and haematological responses of Imatinib therapy in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients with different types of blood groups.

Objective: To determine the distribution of CML in the ABO blood group, clinical spectrum of CML in different blood groups, and treatment response of CML patients in correlation with ABO and Rh blood groups.
