Rapid and sensitive minimal residual disease detection in acute leukemia by quantitative real-time RT-PCR exemplified by t(12;21)TEL-AML1 fusion transcript
1 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
Because previous PCR-based methodologies for detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) in leukemia patients have been too cumbersome to allow for widespread clinical usefulness, we have employed a real-time quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR) system to develop an MRD assay for t(12;21). We initially determined the expression of the different alternatively spliced TEL-AML1 mRNAs found in t(12;21) breakpoint variants I and...
