Abstrakt: Background: CD26 is expressed in all chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients. This study investigated the role of CD26 + LSCs in diagnosis and follow up of CML patients.
Method: Flow cytometry was performed to evaluate CD26 + LSC in peripheral blood (PB) in CML patients. BCR-ABL1 transcript level measurement was performed using standard qRT-PCR technique.
Results: CD26 + LSCs were significantly correlated with BCR-ABL1 transcript level at diagnosis and after three months of treatment. CD26+ LSCs also were significantly associated with the risk score after 12 months of treatment.
Conclusion: CD26+ LSCs can be a useful marker in diagnosis and follow up of patients with CML.
