Disease/Condition Glossary

Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia: Leukemia, also known as blood cancer, is a cancer of blood cells or blood-forming tissues. It causes excessive production of immature white blood cells by the bone marrow and reduces the body’s ability to fight infections. Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia is a type of blood cancer that originates in the myeloid cells or stem cells in your bone marrow. Ph+ chronic myeloid leukemia is a common form of CML that occurs when specific chromosomes swap position. This causes a chromosome abnormality, creating the Philadelphia chromosome. The abnormal chromosomes produce an abnormal protein called Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase, which then triggers a signal to produce abnormal white blood cells in the bone marrow. Symptoms may include fatigue, fever, weight loss, and loss of appetite.

Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL): ALL is a type of blood cancer that primarily affects your blood and bone marrow. It mainly targets the white blood cells which can interfere with your body’s ability to combat infections. Ph+ Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia is a form of ALL that occurs when specific chromosomes swap position. This causes a chromosome abnormality, creating the Philadelphia chromosome. The abnormal chromosomes produce a BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase protein, which triggers a signal to produce abnormal white blood cells in the bone marrow. Symptoms may include fever, weight loss, abnormal blood cell count, bruising, and loss of appetite.
