Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Optimum sample quality is a crucial requirement for molecular monitoring of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) on therapy. Bedside RNA stabilization systems (e.g., PAXgene) have been developed to inhibit RNA degradation during shipment of samples from the clinical site to the specialized laboratory. In CML, blood but not bone marrow samples have been examined using RNA stabilization in...
