Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a type of [[myeloproliferative neoplasm,]] [[AKA]] ''chronic myelogenous leukemia''. It is driven by the bcr-abl fusion protein, detectable cytogenetically as the Philadelphia chromosome. It is a [[leukemia]] in that the fusion protein drives granulopoiesis (and less commonly megakaryopoiesis), resulting in marked peripheral blood leucocytosis.
