*All patients were in chronic phase except for the study of Kim et al. [25], in which 203 patients were in chronic phase and 26 patients in accelerated phase or in blast crisis. The base substitution and rs number taken from the National Centre for Biotechnology information SNP database [53] are indicated for polymorphisms positively associated with IM response. For the remaining SNPs for which no association was found, only the rs number is indicated. Functional impact in vivo: association had been found between polymorphisms and transcript levels of candidate genes or with trough IM concentration. §CyR, cytogenetic response; MR, molecular response; the cumulative incidence of major cytogenetic response (MCyR), CCyR, MMR, complete molecular response (CMR), loss of response, treatment failure and overall survival was measured. MMR in patients with CCyR. ¥Polymorphisms with demonstrated functional effect in vitro.
