Abstract excerpt
Risk-based treatment assignment requires the availability of prognostic factors that reliably predict clinical outcome. Junctional regions of T-cell receptor (TCR) genes provide the best tool to study clonality, lineage association and minimal residual disease (MRD) in T-ALL. In this study, we have analyzed the suitability of clonal TCR gamma and delta junctional gene rearrangement status of T-ALL patients at...
