Screening of Bcr-Abl transcripts in Philadelphia negative essential thrombocythemia.

Abstract excerpt

Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder characterised by the absence of the Philadelphia (Ph+) chromosome. Recent studies have reported controversial results relating to BCR-ABL rearrangements in ET patients. We studied 44 Ph-negative ET patients with the RT-PCR technique at diagnosis or during the follow-up. None of them showed any of the BCR-ABL transcript actually described by...
