उत्तर
The Philadelphia chromosome (translocation t(9;22) involving the fusion of chromosome 9 and 22) is characteristic of Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia. This balanced translocation results in the BCR-ABL fusion gene, which produces a constitutively active tyrosine kinase protein that drives cancer development. It is found in approximately 95% of CML cases.
