Alpha-interferon (alpha-IFN) therapy is an effective agent in early chronic phase (ECP) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), achieving hematologic control in the majority and major cytogenetic response (MCR) (reduction in Ph' +ve metaphases to <35%) in a substantial minority. Currently no pretreatment markers exist to ascertain likelihood of meaningful response. The site of breakpoint in M-bcr and relationship to prognosis is controversial. Studies have been hampered by variation in definition of breakpoint and difference in treatment protocols. In this study of ECP CML patients, Southern analysis and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were used to determine breakpoint location. Patients received (alpha-IFN (9 x 106 units/d...
