Predictive, Diagnostic, Oncogenic evidence:
Predictive: The abstract discusses the occurrence of BCR-ABL mutations, including T315I, and their contribution to resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy, indicating a correlation between the variant and treatment response. The mention of "imatinib-resistant" mutations suggests that T315I is associated with resistance to this specific therapy.
Diagnostic: The abstract notes the incidence of the T315I mutation in patients with varying Sokal scores, implying its role in classifying or defining a subset of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia based on mutation status. This association with specific patient characteristics supports its use as a diagnostic marker.
Oncogenic: The T315I mutation is mentioned in the context of patients progressing to accelerated phase/blast crisis, indicating that it contributes to tumor progression in chronic myeloid leukemia. This suggests that T315I has oncogenic properties, as it is associated with a more aggressive disease state.
