About Chronic Myeloid Leukemia CML is a slow-growing type of leukemia in which the body produces an uncontrolled number of abnormal white blood cells. According to the most recent statistics, about 21,500 people are living with the disease in the United States. It is estimated that 4,830 new cases were diagnosed in 2008. CML occurs when pieces of two different chromosomes break off and attach to each other. The new chromosome is called the Philadelphia-positive chromosome, which contains an abnormal gene called BCR-ABL that signals cells to make too many white blood cells. There is no known cause for the genetic change that causes CML. Bristol-Myers Squibb
