Another example that the adult stem cell represents the cell of origin of cancer has recently been made in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML): by restricting BCR-ABLp210 expression to mouse Sca1(+) hematopoietic stem cells, it is sufficient to induce CML formation that recapitulates the human disease [8]. The gene discussed is BCR; the disease is chronic myelogenous leukemia, BCR-ABL1 positive.
