Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing for Detecting MLL Gene Fusions in Leukemia
13 Nov 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) gene rearrangements characterize approximately 70% of infant and 10% of adult and therapy-related leukemia. Conventional clinical diagnostics, including cytogenetics and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) fail to detect MLL translocation partner genes (TPG) in many patients. Long-distance inverse (LDI)-PCR, the “gold standard” technique that is used to characterize MLL...
