| leukocyte alkaline phosphatase |
This neutrophil enzyme is markedly decreased in its activity in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia. It had been used as a laboratory test to distinguish the increase in white blood cell count in chronic myelogenous leukemia from other causes of leukocytosis. The test is of historical interest and has been replaced by measurement of BCR gene rearrangement, a more specific alteration present in virtually all patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia.
