Question 17

Question
The Philadelphia chromosome (AKA Bcr-Abl) is a translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 that results in a fusion protein called "BCR-ABL". What is the effect of this?
Answer
  • Blocks myeloid differentiation in the progenitor stage
  • Blocks myeloid differentiation in the haematopoietic stem cell stage
  • Blocks lymphoid differentiation in the progenitor stage
  • Blocks lymphoid differentiation in the haematopoietic stem cell stage

Question 18

Question
Bcr-Abl. Bcr = Breakpoint Cluster Region protein Abl = Abelson Murine Leukaemia viral oncogene homolog 1 (a non-receptor tyrosine kinase) The fusion of the two results in what?
Answer
  • Constitutive activation of the Abl kinase
  • Inactivation of the Abl kinase
