« Je sais que la LMC est une maladie génétique. Est-ce que cela signifie que je peux la transmettre à mes enfants? »

IS CML HEREDITARY?
CML is chromosomal/genetic but not hereditary. This means it is not caused by a gene being passed on. During the patient's lifetime, they somehow were exposed to something which damaged their genes. This resulted in the translocation of the 9 and 22 chromosome, and led to CML. However, there are familial incidences among 2 or more family members in other myeloproliferative disorders so the answer is not clear.
