Abstract excerpt
In a prospective trial in 284 children with B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), we assessed the clinical utility of real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis of antigen receptor gene rearrangements for detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) to identify children at high risk of relapse.
