We demonstrate the broad clinical relevance of our findings, showing that upregulation of top-ranked lncRNAs (e.g., SENCR, PROX1-AS1, LINC00892) in TKI-resistant cell lines occurs in CML patients at the diagnostic stage, blast crisis phase, or not responding to TKIs compared to the chronic phase or TKI responders, respectively. This evidence concerns the gene SENCR and chronic myelogenous leukemia, BCR-ABL1 positive.
