GABPA expression positively correlates with the BCR::ABL1/ABL1 ratio in cells from patients with CML, and influences imatinib sensitivity in leukemic cell lines (TKI-sensitive K-562 and TKI-resistant NALM-1) (Manukjan et al., 2015). Here, ABL1 is linked to chronic myelogenous leukemia, BCR-ABL1 positive.
