9/22 CML themed t-shirts

With the warmer weather here in much of the UK, we’re excited to launch our new 9/22 t-shirts.This t-shirt is made of 100% cotton. 

On the front of the t-shirt, you will find an embroidered 9/22 logo and on the sleeve of the t-shirt, you’ll find an embroidered Leukaemia Care logo.

Our new 9/22 logo

Why 9/22? 

Most cases of CML start during cell division, when DNA is "swapped" between chromosomes 9 and 22. Part of chromosome 9 goes to 22 and part of 22 goes to 9. The swapping of DNA between the chromosomes leads to the formation of a new gene (an oncogene) called BCR-ABL. This gene then produces the BCR-ABL protein, which is the type of protein called a tyrosine kinase. This protein causes CML cells to grow and divide out of control.

The logo, which is found on the right side of the chest of this design, is the representation of chromosomes 9 and 22 - a very subtle way of acknowledging CML. 

The design is embroidered rather than printed onto the t-shirts. 

How much are the t-shirts? 

Each t-shirt costs £14 with the proceeds going to Leukaemia Care to help us to fund our patient services. 

For a limited time, we are offering free postage on these t-shirts too.
