BCR-ABL1 genomic DNA PCR response kinetics during first-line imatinib treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia
5 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Accurate quantification of minimal residual disease (MRD) during treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) guides clinical decisions. The conventional MRD method, RQ-PCR for BCR-ABL1 mRNA, reflects a composite of the number of circulating leukemic cells and the BCR-ABL1 transcripts per cell. BCR-ABL1 genomic DNA only reflects leukemic cell number. We used both methods in parallel to determine the relative...
