Jennifer A. Woyach, Richard R. Furman, Ta-Ming Liu, Hatice Gülçin Özer et al.

Short summary

Resistance to the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor ibrutinib in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is often caused by mutations in BTK at the drug's binding site (C481S) or in the downstream PLCγ2 gene (R665W, L845F).
