Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Molecular analysis of minimal residual disease is only applicable in acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) patients with genetic markers (20-30%). This study analyzes the feasibility of the real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) assay to detect mutant nucleophosmin (NPM1) during follow-up in AML patients. Moreover, we compare the NPM1 results with those of WT1 expression to MRD...
