Real-time quantitative PCR detection of WT1 and M-BCR-ABL expressions in chronic myeloid leukemia.
UNLABELLED The Philadelphia chromosome and the resulting BCR-ABL fusion gene represent the hallmark event in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and their discoveries radically changed the management of these patients. Currently Wilms tumor 1 gene (WT1) is intensively investigated as high WT1 expression levels have been demonstrated in case of multiple solid tumors and malignant hematological syndro...
متن کاملFrequency of BCR-ABL Fusion Transcripts in Iranian Azeri Turkish patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
Background: The Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) characterized by t (9; 22) (q34; q11.2) is a reciprocal translocation giving rise to a chimeric BCR-ABL fusion gene. Incidence of Ph chromosome is over 98% in Patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) and around 20% in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The finding of this fusion gene is essential for diagnosis of CML by detection of various fusi...
متن کاملQuantification of Bcr-Abl transcripts in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) using standardized, internally controlled, competitive differential PCR (CD-PCR).
The quantification of Bcr-Abl transcript numbers in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients described here uses simultaneous competitive PCR amplification of the target gene (Bcr-Abl) and a reference gene (porphobilinogen deaminase; Pbgd) together with a single composite competitor molecule for both targets based on heterologous sequences. Using this technique, Bcr-Abl transcript numbers co...
متن کاملbcr- abl variants in chronic myeloid leukemia patients by rt- multiplex pcr
objective: chronic myeloid leukemia (cml) is a malignant clonal disorder of hematopoietic stem cells which results in increase of myeloid cells, erythroid cells and platelets in the peripheral blood and hyperplasia in bone marrow. investigations have shown different types of bcr- abl variants in these patients. in iran only 3 types of these variants have been identified because most of the clin...
متن کاملBCR-ABL fusion genes and laboratory findings in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in northeast Iran
Background: A specific chromosomal abnormality, the Philadelphia chromosome (BCR-ABL fusion), is present in all patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The b2a2 and b3a2 fusion mRNAs encode p210 fusion protein p210 and e1a2 encode p190. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of BCR-ABL fusion transcript variants in Northeast of Iranian CML patients and to compare the laborato...
