Kinetics of increasing BCR-ABL transcript numbers in chronic myeloid leukemia patients who relapse after bone marrow transplantation
15 May 1996
Abstract excerpt
We prospectively studied 98 chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients after bone marrow transplantation by competitive polymerase chain reaction to detect and quantify leukemia-specific BCR-ABL mRNA. Of 69 patients who had persistently undetectable, decreasing, or low BCR-ABL levels ( < 50 transcripts/microgram RNA) on sequential analysis, one (1%) subsequently relapsed. Of 29 patients who had increasing or...
