Detection of minimal residual disease in acute promyelocytic leukemia by a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assay for the PML/RAR-alpha fusion mRNA
15 Sept 1993
Abstract excerpt
The characteristic reciprocal translocation t(15;17) of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) disrupts the PML gene on chromosome 15 and the retinoic acid receptor-alpha (RAR-alpha) gene on chromosome 17. PML/RAR-alpha fusion mRNAs are then transcribed and can be detected by a newly described reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay. Using RT followed by nested PCR amplification for...
