Abstract excerpt
Detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has become an essential tool for molecular monitoring of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Currently, specific translocation markers are available for 40-50% of AMLs. Expression markers may widen this spectrum to 70-90%. Quantitative PCR (Q-PCR, real-time PCR) is now as sensitive as conventional two-step PCR and could improve as well as...
