Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Quantitative evaluation of minimal residual disease (MRD) following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is indispensable for patients with hematological malignancies. In addition to established MRD markers such as immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor gene rearrangements, fusion genes, or aberrantly expressed genes, single nucleotide mutations are considered one of the MRD markers that reflect...
