Efficient disruption of bcr-abl gene by CRISPR RNA-guided FokI nucleases depresses the oncogenesis of chronic myeloid leukemia cells

Abstract Background The bcr-abl fusion gene encodes BCR-ABL oncoprotein and plays a crucial role in the leukemogenesis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Current therapeutic methods have limited treatment effect on CML patients with drug resistance or disease relapse. Therefore, novel therapeutic st...
