Figure 1. Schematic diagram of the translocation that creates the Philadelphia chromosome. The ABL and BCR genes reside on the long arms of chromosomes 9 and 22, respectively. As a result of the (9;22) translocation, a BCR-ABL gene is formed on the derivative chromosome 22 (Philadelphia chromosome). Illustration by A. Y. Chen.
